Spawning burn clearance

Bailiffs have been busy clearing debris jams to allow spawning access for salmon and trout.  Although fallen timber in rivers is generally good for fish habitat, in some cases large accumulations of debris, particularly after felling operations can block access for migrating fish.  Jams were cleared on the Upper Conon, Peffery and Alness.  On the Peffery as part of the restoration of habitat timber has been added to the river to create a variation in flow and depth.
