'Pay it Forth' is a giving scheme which gives people - visiting and living in the area - the chance to donate to help look after historic heritage, nature and wildlife in the Inner Forth. Small contributions collected around the Inner Forth, added together, can make a genuine difference.
It allows those who enjoy the landscape to put something back into protecting, enhancing and celebrating what makes it so special.

The consolidation of the historic Gardener’s Cottage at Valleyfield Woodland Park (Fife).
Woodland enhancement, meadow creation, wetland scrape creation and tree planting at Rannoch Park (Grangemouth, Falkirk) and Glendevon Drive (Raploch, Stirling).
An energy efficiency project aimed at improving the climate adaptability of Cochrane Hall (Alva, Clackmannanshire).
The donations collected through Pay it Forth complement funding received from the National Lottery Heritage Fund, Falkirk Council and Stirling Council, and other funders, and are integral to making these heritage improvements possible.
