As part of the works to re-route the burn we believe that there is an opportunity to create a blue/green link between Edinburgh Park and Gogar burn, providing not only a linkage for wildlife by means of the water course and wetland but also to include paths and cycle ways linking businesses to communities. The scheme would include woodland, wetland planting, paths and interpretation installation. There is already an underpass from Edinburgh Park and a right of way over the area which would be enhanced through the project. Additionally the area of the proposed new route is adjacent to an ancient woodland and these works would help preserve this important habitat.</p> <p>"</p> <p><a href="http://www.fishforth.co.uk/rfft/gogar-burn-de-culverting-project/" rel="nofollow">http://www.fishforth.co.uk/rfft/gogar-burn-de-culverting-project/</a> </p>
