The man who saved a dying river

Bob Kindness' pioneering stocking programme on the River Carron saved it from collapse

We are pleased to finally present our film: The man who saved a dying river (full edit)

 

The 8 minute film covers the story of Bob Kindness (above, at Attadale) and his pioneering stocking programme on the River Carron which helped save native salmon and sea trout stocks from collapse.

 

Bob, now in his seventies - and still (rightly) obsessed by his project - jointly won the inaugural SGA Wild Salmon Conservation Award this year, alongside the Allt Lorgy River Restoration Project, see:  https://www.scottishgamekeepers.co.uk/latest-news/2024/2024-08-05-pioneering-projects-land-prestigious-salmon-award.php
