RIVERWOODS: An Untold Story

In partnership with ABCAN and as part of the development of our Local Place Plan, the Community Council and the Development Trust present an evening focussed on the River Ruel and the work of the River Improvement Association, centred around the feature film Riverwoods

Three years in the making, the featurelength Riverwoods film, produced by Riverwoods partner Scotland: The Big Picture and narrated by Peter Capaldi, shines a light on the perilous state of Scotland’s salmon, and tells the compelling story of a fish that once lived in the forest. And in the soil that feeds the forest. And in the predators, scavengers and even herbivores of the forest. Scotland’s Atlantic salmon – the King of Fish – is not only the ultimate angler’s prize, but a key building block in a complex forest ecosystem.
