In its early years the Tay Foundation was mostly
concerned with the buyouts of net fishing in the
estuary of the River Tay. Since these were completed
the Tay Foundation has started to focus on wider
projects within the catchment. The Foundation
has recently been reconstituted and has embarked
on commissioning a number of new projects in 2006.
Over the coming months through 2006and into 2007
it is looking to expand these projects and to
increase its fundraising effort. |
