The Charity was established to provide a safe walkway around the Loch of Ayre in Holm. and this has been achieved. We have also planted many trees and wild flowers, built a bird hide, a bridge over the burn from the Loch to the sea, and provided picnic tables. At present we are in the process of building stone structures to replicate a boat on the found of a boat shed which also reflects the fact that the village was, in days gone by, a herring fishing village.
