Be nice to see trees alongside the river. Think they'd cool the water for benefit of fish in summer alongside other benefits.

And trees may attract a few dam engineers working for free.

Already part of the plan! This project just gives us that immediate impact while we wait for our trees to grow and allow some of these sorts of thing to occur more naturally.

Great! Are there sheep in the valley? Guessing you've fenced off trees?
@jackstone42912 ай бұрын
Many many other benefits to the habitat and wildlife with trees and saplings and bushes and low ground cover than that! But yes .. keep the fish cool in the trees shade ..

Nice job but you are starting in a pretty clean environment already, is there any pollution up there? If so what? How do you deal with lowland rivers where the agriculture is intensive dairy and growing of maize along the river plains?

If you can continue the fencing to keep the deer and sheep out, hopefully you can get some trees in there to allow the return of beavers.

Where's the trees?

They all got chopped down 400 years ago for building/firewood. Then 400 years of sheep/deer grazing prevented any regeneration.

Why fir trees. My understanding of fir is that it acidifies water which is not beneficial for fish.

Fir trees is what's there. And right now - the benefits of more wood in the water will be greater than the downsides of a slight increase in acidity.

@ I gather your point but my understanding of complaints of afforestation of the flow country and areas around the salmon rivers was the lack of fish as a result, that was all.

Beavers would sort it real quick.

they need food, and that means trees - but there aren't any!
