East Tullos Burn Improvement Programme

The project will improve the environment of the East Tullos Burn. The existing burn is
canalised and prone to flooding the adjacent paths. The profile of the burn will be
reprofiled to allow some flooding without affecting the adjacent paths. Native trees will
be planted along the course of the burn . Two reed beds will be created to improve the
water quality of the burn and to provide a new wetland habitat. Access will be improved
for the public. Volunteers will be involved in the planing of trees, wildflowers and the
reed beds. School groups will also help as volunteers and the site will be used for
educational visits once the project is complete.
