The Tweed Meadows Project

The Tweed Meadows Project (2023–2024) restored and created 76 hectares of meadows across 34 different sites along the River Tweed catchment, from Peebles in the Upper Tweed Valley to Coldstream and Thirlestane in the East.

Engaging with individuals, community groups, local school children, the farming community and landowners, who helped with site preparation, seed sowing, mowing and haymaking, the project gave volunteers the opportunity to learn new skills, including botanical and pollinator recording and traditional haymaking techniques.
