[/color]Join us for a day on the beautiful Rottal Estate in Angus to hear from some of Scotland’s foremost nature-friendly farmers, take part in practical group sessions and see the progress of landowner Dee Ward’s transformative work with nature.[/size]

[/color]Dee has joined with neighbouring estates and the River South Esk Partnership on a landscape-scale water management scheme, including the re-meandering of Rottal Burn. With Tilhill Forestry, almost 500 hectares of native trees (including 80 hectares on Rottal) are being planted to slow water run-off, already increasing numbers of Atlantic salmon and pearl mussels. Dee has also restored peatland, used an AECS planting scheme to encourage birds and created wader habitats.[/size]
