Forth

The Forth area contains fantastic wildlife and scenery, including the world renowned landscapes of the Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park and the internationally important bird populations of the Firth of Forth's coasts and islands.  It is also heavily populated, and greenspace, open space and green networks have a vital role to play in people's economic prosperity, quality of life, health and well being and enjoyment of the outdoors.  Our role is to protect the area's environment while maximising the many benefits it brings to the people who live, work and visit here.
