Quite a day out: 43 miles running up the Exe to celebrate and connect with the story of Atlantic Salmon in this year's Salmon Run. A big thanks to all involved in organising and supporting the event and to everyone who donated towards WRT's work to support salmon restoration in the Exe.

I've just sponsored @danosmond.bsky.social on @justgiving.bsky.social

Dan is running the Salmon Run next Saturday. This amazing event raises awareness of Atlantic Salmon and the threats they face, and Dan is also fundraising for Westcountry Rivers Trust

Hey, thanks for the support Sarah and for your work on this great event!

Back to visit some of our fisheries habitat sites on the Exe, funded by NE Species Recovery. Great work delivered by Dartforest, increasing daylight penetration in a SSSI on Danes Brook. Alongside the benefits for fish, nice to see habitat creation for terrestrial species in the riparian corridor.

Save the date! Run wild with the Salmon 20 September on the Exe linking communities for love of our river #salmonrun more info on how to take part in relay, ultra and 5km with our partners ParkRun coming soon!

Full circle, having previously worked on development of eDNA assays for migratory fish, now great to see molecular ecology tools becoming a standard part of practical management.

Please do, along with this most importantly (which I forgot) or our wonderful volunteer team!

Trees in the ground on the Barle yesterday to restore and protect this valuable spawning site for Exe salmon. Working with @naturalengland.bsky.social and @exmoornp.bsky.social, great to see enthusiastic volunteers out to put theory into action. One of the best days yet for Westcountry Rivers Trust.
