A new habitat scheme!
The Crawick Water has been acknowledged as one of the most productive spawning tributaries for sea trout throughout the Nith catchment. As such, investment in habitat enhancement has been promoted over the previous 15 years. Many schemes to exclude riparian grazing and promote the regeneration of native vegetation to provide draped cover for fish have been conducted. The latest of these schemes has been to extend the existing fenced off river corridor upstream of Coarse Bank Farm. The Trust appreciates the support and cooperation of Mr J Renwick who owns the land and the various funding organisations who have supported the project. RAFTs supports this project through funding supplied by Marine Scotland.
