Reay Forest Estate is holding a ‘natural capital’ community engagement event next weekend to inform members of the public about a salmon and sea trout conservation project.

The estate is working in partnership with conservation charity the Atlantic Salmon Trust (AST) to “deliver a landscape scale, ecosystem wide, conservation project with the goal of restoring wild Atlantic salmon and sea trout populations to the River Laxford".

Information will also be available at the engagement event on the estate’s continued work with Marine Scotland Science and West Sutherland Fisheries Trust.

The event takes place at Scourie Village Hall on Saturday, July 8, from 11am to 3pm.

Reay Forest Estate is managed by the Grosvenor Estate, owned by Hugh Grosvenor, the Duke of Westminster.
