Cockburn Response
The Cockburn Association SUPPORTS this application for the creation of a new burn section and a wet meadow with a boardwalk on the Cammo Estate.
Similar projects at Inverleith, Figgate and Lochend Parks, and at many other sites around Scotland, have already resulted in the low cost and sustainable delivery of multiple social and environmental benefits and it is highly likely that this proposed project for Cammo will be equally beneficial.
Such projects represent of deliverable, popular and low maintenance solutions to the growing imperatives of sustaining the city’s biodiversity, adapting to a changing local climate and to the mitigation of carbon emissions.
