Our @NatureofScot award winning #riverrestoration site at Easter Beltie is the focus of research by @JamesHuttonInst @EdinburghNapier. The new wetlands = larder stocked with an ever increasing number of inverts that feed the river system, lock up carbon & keep the water clean.

Thank you @DrUisge for the opportunity to talk to the @EdinburghNapier ‘management of aquatic protected areas’ Masters students about our river restoration research yesterday. Was it only last week we were sampling in the sun with @GBEcoScience?

Great learning day with friends from @Southesknews @cairngormsnews looking at managing floodplain parks - an inspiring example of combining people, nature and climate action at one site. Thanks @UryRiverPark we’ll be back soon!

Thank you @NatureofScot award-winning @UryRiverPark for an inspiring day. Integrating wild nature, on a floodplain, in a town, with lots of visitors is no mean feat and you’re pulling it off brilliantly. Definitely a USP for @invbizco
