For many years, the Tweed Foundation has been proud to share the Team Tweed stand with the Tweed Forum at the Border Union Show, bringing together two organisations that care about the future of the River Tweed.
This year, the focus is on water quality and tree planting.
The Tweed Foundation will be highlighting the importance of water quality and the science behind protecting a healthy river.
