An award-wining bird hide at an iconic beauty spotwhich was destroyed by fire is to be rebuilt after tens of thousands of pounds were raised in just over two months. NatureScot’s Mill Hide on the shores of Loch Leven National Nature Reserve (NNR) was completely destroyed in a blaze on February 18th. Encouraged by the many offers of support from the community, the organisation began a campaign on 1 March to raise funds to re-build the hide through MyParkScotland, Scotland’s only crowdfunding site specifically for nature reserves, parks and greenspaces. Now the fundraising effort has raised £30,000 and has almost reached its goal of of £35,000 to re-build the hide.
