Restoring the River Leven

The Restoring the River Leven project aims to restore a 2 ½ mile stretch of the river between Windygates and Leven, while improving potential fish passage at the Kirkland and Burn Mill Dams. We are also looking to develop the area with local communities, improving local biodiversity, path networks and green spaces as part of the wider Leven Programme.
While the key aim of this project is about restoring the river, we are really keen to work with the local community and for them to help shape the project. This video highlights some of the restoration options available and will help inform public consultation in November and December 2022.
In conjunction with other initiatives in the Leven Programme, this project has been commissioned by Fife Council and the Scottish Environment Protection Agency (SEPA), supported initially with funding from the Water Environment Fund (WEF). Fife Coast and Countryside Trust (FCCT) are managing the project on behalf of Fife Council and are working with cbec eco-engineering to develop restoration options that can be shared the local community for their feedback and then taken forward together as the project progresses.
