Dumfries and Galloway’s number one ‘maternity hospital’ for salmon has been helped by SP Energy Networks.
Volunteers from the transmission network owner gathered at Crawick Water with Nith District Salmon Fisheries Board to plant 1,000 trees to protect the salmon spawning ground from river bank erosion and habitat loss.
Crawick Water runs from the Lowther Hills to join the River Nith at Crawick near Sanquhar and plays a crucial role in salmon breeding, as well as supporting diverse wildlife and rare plants.
