A collaborative project designed to restore biodiversity to the River Ericht has been announced as one of just five proposals in Scotland to go through to the next phase of development.
The River Ericht Catchment Regeneration Initiative aims to engage landowners, farmers, businesses, communities, educational institutions, and relevant statutory bodies in restoring biodiversity, sinking carbon and enabling the sustainable livelihoods that depend on the salmon and the River Ericht to thrive now and in the future.
A number of local groups and organisations, including The Cateran Ecomuseum, Bioregioning Tayside, Tay Ghillies Association, Blairgowrie and Rattray District Angling Association, the Blairgowrie and Rattray Development Trust Biodiversity Blair initiative and Mount Blair Development Trust, are involved in the project.
