Exmoor Trees for Salmon – help needed please
An invitation to join the Westcountry Rivers Trust, on Sunday 9th February, for a volunteer tree planting day along the river Barle, at Landacre Bridge. This area is an important region for spawning salmon and juvenile habitat within the Exe, however a lack of tree cover leaves the fish vulnerable. To help improve this habitat, WRT are planting pockets of trees alongside the river and need your help to put these trees in the ground!
WRT have 1500 trees to be put in the ground, so the more help the better.

This impacts on fish populations including trout and salmon parr.
