A past project and proof that burns did not cause siltation

If feeder burns are neglected they become blocked and useless for fish, it is our policy to keep an eye on our spawning and nursery burns and indeed the whole river ensuring that blockages do not occur. If they do we try to address them as quickly as possible to prevent that area from degrading in habitat for fish and indeed other fauna. The video clip shows an area that had a completely blocked channel after a landslide in 2003 and with the permission of the riparian owners, a team consisting of Scott Delaney(15) Scott Connahan(15) Chris Fraser (15) Jim Stewart (16) and Jimmy Delaney (48) cleared the blockage and diverted the burn to prevent further erosion. That was 5 years ago and the results can be seen today.
The film was also taken to demonstrate that our feeder burns did not cause siltation in following piece of film just in case the Water Authorities try more misleading spin.
