Friends of the Forth

Friends of the Forth was set up in 2005 to follow on from the very successful Coastal Litter Project, the Friends of the Forth project aims to:

Raise awareness of coastal and marine issues especially the problems of litter
Promote stewardship of the coast by groups, schools and local people
Support and encourage communities to manage and improve their local stretch of coast

The Friends of the Forth Project Officer can help organise a beach clean, advise on grants and other support available to groups, visit schools and youth groups to discuss the issues around litter in our seas and on the coast.

For more information on Friends of the Forth project and to see details of events and the latest news visit the website www.friendsoftheforth.co.uk

The Project Officer is available to help schools planning a litter or coastal based project.

Teachers may wish to have a look at the Beach Litter education pack. This is a curriculum based education pack for practical advice on litter projects that are rewarding and fun. For more information visit the website www.beachlitter.co.uk
