Civic Pride on the River Nith
Team Effort:
Staff from the Nith District Salmon Fishery Board and Nith Catchment Fishery Trust spent a day with Morris and John from Dumfries Civic Pride removing the Himalayan Balsam from the islands on the Whitesands in Dumfries. This will be a reoccurring problem because new seeds will constantly be washed downstream to re-establish on the islands.
Whilst the team were kitted out in waders and PPE they took the opportunity to remove some of the other rubbish out of the river. Every little helps!
