The successful clearance of Rhododendron from the banks of the Orrin has left several kilometers of bankside which would benefit from the planting of native trees. The Woodland Trust generously donated nearly 2,500 alders,willows,aspen, birch and oak trees to help restore native riverside woodland. Fishery Board staff and volunteers are planting these trees into areas which have been cleared of rhododendron.
Other tree planting works are also taking place in the Blackwater and Peffery catchments, with the support and donation of trees by the Forestry Commission.
