Education
At the Trust we see education as one of our most important roles. This includes specific education projects with school children, raising awareness of fisheries issues generally within the community and running practical events to involve fisheries managers and the public in freshwater environments.
The Lochaber Fisheries Trust run practical event days on local rivers to help raise awareness of riparian life.
Recent events have included:
Redd count training days, where the public and river managers could come and receive expert advice on how to identify redds (salmon spawning grounds)
Electrofishing sessions, where the public can actively get involved looking at the variety of fish life in our rivers and how to identify different species.
Invertebrate sampling, where the public can actively involved in collecting the bugs and beasts that live in the river; bring wellies!
The Trust also gives talks at local interest groups such as Angling Club AGMS, and occasionally run workshops on fishery issues.
