Our Fisheries Charitable Trust is working to support catchment scale restoration of rivers across the UK, helping to protect vulnerable salmon populations and delivering cooler, cleaner water for the benefit of us all.
It's Wild Salmon Day – a chance to celebrate a fish that sustains whole ecosystems and human communities, but is now classed as endangered.
Scotland once welcomed huge runs of Atlantic salmon, returning from the sea to rivers that ran cool beneath corridors of alder, willow and aspen.
Salmon rely on cold, clean water to survive.
But today, many of Scotland's rivers are heating up, as they flow through bare, treeless landscapes, exposed to rising summer heat.
❌ No trees means no shade.
❌ No shade means warmer water.
❌ Warmer water means fewer salmon.
🌱 But there’s still hope.
By restoring 'Riverwoods' – vibrant corridors of native trees along Scotland’s exposed rivers – we can give salmon shade, shelter and cooler water.
We can give them a fighting chance.
Find out more about Riverwoods here: scotlandbigpicture.pulse.ly/…
