The River Cree Hatchery and Habitat Trust

A Meeting With The River Cree Hatchery and Habitat Trust

Today I had a meeting with The River Cree Hatchery and Habitat Trust at the Creebridge House Hotel; well if you are going to have a meeting, have it in style.

The River Cree Hatchery and Habitat Trust is a wonderful charity run organisation that relies on donations, fundraising and grants to keep going. The aim of the trust is to support local wildlife both in and out of the river so they have projects of tree planting and increasing fish stocks. They are also heavily into looking after the health of the river, and testing and monitoring what is happening to the river and its inhabitants.

Training, Work Experience and Education

Alongside the work they do with the river they also give training, work experience and educational classes to local children, and they are committed to encouraging interaction with the hatchery and the wider community. If you run a local community group and would like to visit the hatchery to see the fish or riverbed nymphs, you can contact the Hatcheries directly through their Facebook Page.

We spoke about the possibility of work experience placements and a visit for the Newton Stewart Youth Club as it sounds like they might have a lot of fun and learn lots about the local wildlife. What a wonderful opportunity.
