Million tree project launched to conserve wild fish in River Laxford

More than 70,000 trees, the first of up to a million, have been planted across 198 acres (80ha).

Aspen, birch, hawthorn, holly, oak and rowan are among the species involved.

The planting is part of Project Laxford.

It has support from Scottish government directorate Marine Scotland and West Sutherland Fisheries Trust.

Conservation charity Atlantic Salmon Trust said salmon and trout in the Laxford, and some other Scottish rivers, have been declining.

The Laxford is the trust’s first river catchment-scale restoration project, and covers the river from its source to where it enters the sea.
