This video looks at the work Ayrshire Rivers Trust are/have carried out to help protect and improve a loch trout population impacted by forestry plantations in Ayrshire. With severely degraded spawning habitat ART reluctantly ran a small trout egg incubator to help boost the productivity of a key spawning burn where habitat has become so impacted by sediment that trout numbers are becoming increasingly depressed.
Nice wee video
Take a bow lads. Use are doing a phenomenal job. Every river and burn in the country could do with a few more men like yourselves. You have my upmost respect👍👏
Yes,the trees must take the water,too,that would otherwise flush the stream.I'm very surprised at how near to the stream trees are planted.Not much would be lost by the foresters,surely,to leave a bit of space.Interesting.Cheers!
Your doing great work
Great work lads. I still cannot understand why SEPA do not protect habitat around the burns and lochs by imposing a ban on conifer plantations, say within 25 yards.
