RIVER EDEN DAY

SEPTEMBER 27TH – 10AM – 5PM

UPPER HALL, CORN EXCHANGE, CUPAR

CELEBRATING FIFE RIVERS ON WORLD RIVERS DAY

Come and celebrate Fife Rivers.

Hear what local people and organisations are doing to care for the River Eden and other rivers in Fife. River trees will be highlighted on the day; especially the beneficial impact of trees on rivers and wildlife. There will be talks highlighting the Sustainable Cupar / River Eden Sustainability Partnership, Riverwoods funded project, alongside new of the wider Scottish Riverwoods blue print project. Talks about local action on the catchment – management of non-native invasive species, water quality testing and riverfly surveying will inspire us.

Children’s (and adult’s) activities will give us all the chance to create a visual River Eden catchment, populating our virtual catchment with trees, fish, invertebrates and more. Stalls representing many local groups and organisations, will show how to get involved in local action to look after our environment.

At 3.30pm the premiere of a new film will be shown – Strange kin: a parliament of soils of river Eden. This will be introduced by the makers – Becky Liddle and Tom Morton, with discussion after the film.

Refreshments available all day.

FREE EVENT. Hope you can come along – everyone is welcome.
