An environmental project in Fife that is aiming to help wildlife thrive in the area once again has moved into its next phase.

The River Leven, which flows through the heart of Levenmouth in the North of Fife has been undergoing restoration works over the last year, and Fife Council has now announced that the next phase of key improvements are about to get underway.

The restoration aims to give locals the benefit of flourishing wildlife and nature in area by removing or adapting some of the man-made challenges that have impacted the way the river functions.

As it stands, fish are struggling to move up and downstream, and the new project aims to fix that.
