We seek to engage with the many and varied communities and organisations throughout the Clyde catchment. Over the years we have spoken with a number of community organisations, such as community councils, angling associations and local clean-up groups. We aim to provide useful information and background to our work wherever possible and we view this as an essential part of the success of the River Clyde Fishery Management Plan. Increased awareness and understanding of river ecology is vital to the stewardship of the freshwater resource. We now hope to build on this contact and support community groups to undertake prioritised physical improvements (including river restoration measures) across the Clyde sub-catchments.

This community-focussed outreach work is an increasingly important area of our work. Via the BTCV Scotland Natural Communities programme, our Kelvin Catchment Officer has scoped the need for improved catchment-based communication to support river-based environmental improvements in the River Kelvin catchment. More information on this initiative will follow.
