Biodiversity

Kinross-shire a beautiful area of rolling hills surrounding the largest loch of lowland Scotland – Loch Leven.

The landscape we see is an effect of post-glacial activity, long-term agricultural land use and past textile industry.

Today what remains as semi-natural land (principally around the loch) has been an effect of long-term conservation. Loch Leven National Nature Reserve is the great effort of RSPB and NatureScot to preserve the loch habitat for the many bird and other species that inhabit this beautiful spot. 

Local engagement is at the heart of successful nature conservation

Nature conservation is only possible with engagement, whether it is the agreement between the loch owner and the conservation bodies (NNR Loch Leven), or a very important local community action. Greener Kinross-shire organise local biodiversity events to involve local community like nature walks, litter picks, Citizen Science events or tree/hedge planting and you can get involved by contacting us

Repair Café

The Kinross-shire Repair Café opened in April of 2024. It originated in the wish of the organisers to keep things out of landfill by repairing them or give them a new life.

Sometimes an item can get a whole new lease of life with some glue, some soldering or some stitching – and we can do that for you. You only pay for the materials, but donations are gratefully accepted to keep us going. When something is beyond repair, we can advise you how to get rid of it in an environmentally responsible way.
