At LLFT we value the insights of the public in regards to the Loch Lomond catchment. Your day-to-day experiences around the loch and its rivers give you a unique perspective on its health, challenges and beauty. To better understand what matters to you, we have created a Public Opinion Survey.
As part of our commitment to environmental stewardship, we actively participate in the Riverfly Monitoring Initiative (RMI)—a nationwide citizen science project designed to track invertebrate populations in streams and rivers across the UK.
The objective of the LLFT is to identify, treat and eradicate riparian plant Invasive Non-Native Species (INNS) to improve our river and loch habitats. The Trust hopes to survey and map the treatment of INNS within the national park and along water courses draining into the national park.
As part of our commitment to biodiversity, we are now actively involved in the monitoring and surveying of the beavers that have been reintroduced into the catchment at the beginning of this year.
The Leven Legacy Project was a multi-dimensional project which aimed to achieve a lasting and meaningful legacy for the communities and wildlife of Dumbarton and Alexandria.
Lomond in the classroomwas a project which was funded by the Greggs Foundation. The project involved delivering powan eggs to classrooms for the children to learn about the species and look after their very own hatchery.
The Wild Blane Project was designed to reverse the damage improving the structure of riverbanks and the associated riparian corridors. This was achieved by tackling Invasive Non-Native species (INNS) and increasing local biodiversity
Loch Lomond Fisheries Trust strive to conserve the rivers within our catchment and understanding the fragile dynamics of our rivers is a vital part of our work. Thanks to funding from MOWI, we can use electrofishing surveys to collect data on the River Endrick, River Leven and River Blane
The purpose of our Garelochhead project is to engage with young people from Garelochhead and Helensburgh, providing them with practical workshops on fisheries management, bankside strengthening, and tree planting
