This EU LIFE+ river restoration project, completed in 2010,
aimed to improve habitat for freshwater pearl mussel, Atlantic salmon and
trout. Works included re-profiling sections of riverbank in the upper catchment
and removing 900 metres of bank protection from the River South Esk and the
White Water, helping to restore more natural river habitats.
