Some tributaries have deteriorated because of neglect
and damage to their banks. Heavy grazing pressure by
sheep and cattle have removed cover provided by fringing
grasses and caused erosion of the banks. Trees are
also becoming increasingly dense and are shading out
plants and algae which support the insects on which
fish feed. To help open up densely shaded areas and
exclude animals from streams we wish to maintain an
annual programme of fencing and thinning trees. The
work will be conducted by contractors and staff from
the Tay Board.
