The award to Forth Eco Site was presented at a ceremony in Stirling last week. More than 160 groups from across Scotland were recognised for their commitment to improving their local neighbourhood.

Katie Murray, Communities and Place Manager from Keep Scotland Beautiful commented: “Every It’s Your Neighbourhood participant deserves this recognition for their hard work and determination to improve their own community. By volunteering their own time the 2019 groups have managed to support hundreds of environmental initiatives across Scotland.
