Making a buzz! 400 native wildflower plugs planted today at #easterbeltie, with a few 1000 more in the next few weeks before it gets too ☀️ plus thorny shrubs and fruit trees to follow.

Fantastic! Our @NatureofScot award-winning #easterbeltie restoration is the star of this short film showcasing how we reunited a channelised stream and its floodplain, breathing life into a lost wetland.

Utterly blown away that our film with @ScotlandTBP ‘The Beltie Burn: A River Restored’ https://t.co/Njj0tKsNS6 has 75,632 👀, 2.5k 👍 and 101 😀comments. Thank you viewers, commenters and likers - means a lot! #riverrestoration #naturecomeback

Thank you to today’s new Riverfly on the Dee #citizenscience volunteers, your monthly water quality data will be invaluable. @Riverflies is exploding in Scotland thanks to @Buzz_dont_tweet @BeckL76388162 - we’re delighted to join and can’t wait to see this vital data set grow.

[Dee Partnership @DeeCatchment]

All ready for tomorrow’s @Buzz_dont_tweet training for Riverfly on the Dee @Riverflies Guardians. 25 fantastic #citizenscience volunteers are monitoring water quality every month, supporting our work for a cool & clean #riverdee

[Susan Cooksley @SusanLCooksley]

What makes a great @Riverflies site? Learning from the best today @BeckL76388162 @Buzz_dont_tweet

[Dee Partnership @DeeCatchment]

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.

[Susan Cooksley @SusanLCooksley]

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?

[Dee Partnership @DeeCatchment]

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!

[Susan Cooksley @SusanLCooksley]

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

#Riverwoods is on Channel 5 (Sky 153) tonight at 8pm. We were privileged to help with this stunning film from @ScotlandTBP that tells the story of salmon, river and forest. If you missed the sell out tour, or have been waiting to watch it again - catch it tonight! #COP27

From hibernating herald moths to brightly coloured berries, there’s plenty to feast our eyes – and ears – on in the catchment this month…@nature_scot @CouncilRanger @CNPARangers @RiverDeeTeam

To create more habitats for nature and help the area cope better with heavy rains due to climate change, the Easter Beltie Restoration project put the bends back into a stream that had been artificially straightened over 150 years ago. https://t.co/OibmU8v72e #restoration

[Dee Partnership @DeeCatchment]

@RiverDeeTeam Thank YOU for bringing your vision expertise and experience that made it all happen!!

[Dee Partnership @DeeCatchment]

Our work that has given new life to trees brought down in #StormArwen for climate resilience and nature recovery has been picked up by @BBCNews https://t.co/cFh8WRTDjQ @ForestryLS @JamesHuttonInst @RiverDeeTeam @cairngormsnews

[Kieran Beattie @KNBeattie]

Storm Arwen brought down millions of trees across Scotland. A devastating blow for nature, but, a new @DeeCatchment/@RiverDeeTeam project is using some of those destroyed trees, from Scolty Hill, to restore a long-lost + important habitat in #Aberdeenshire https://t.co/bmoNWBKh5n

[Dee Partnership @DeeCatchment]

Easter Beltie is back in the headlines - our recent work to repurpose 50 Storm Arwen damaged trees & add 15 large wood structures to the channel looks fantastic, will boost habitat and slow flows @RiverDeeTeam @cairngormsnews @JamesHuttonInst @ForestryLS https://t.co/6qgJG4ojdk
