Grosvenor’s Reay Forest Estate has received the Scottish Land & Estates' Helping It Happen award for conservation in recognition for Project Laxford, the estate’s landscape scale, ecosystem-wide, conservation project restoring wild Atlantic salmon and sea trout populations.

Grosvenor’s Reay Forest Estate a conservation and sporting estate famed for deer, trout and salmon as well as its wild beauty and remote landscapes, is welcoming members of the public to an open day on 20 April.

The successful nest has been described as a landmark moment for conservationists working to return the revered bird of prey in England.

A dynamic 10-year study working to restore the numbers of wild Atlantic salmon and sea trout in one of the most renowned rivers in the Scottish Highlands has been launched. The project hopes to gain a better understanding of the Laxford catchment, improve the quality and habitat of the river and become an exemplar for catchment management, with the lessons learnt being directly applicable to other river systems.
