The River Garry has been destroyed, but a legislative opportunity exists to bring it back to life.
But, at the end of the day, what actually happens may come down to a political decision.
If you care about the River Garry and would like to see it brought properly back to life rather than just receiving a cosmetic flow in order to suit a giant utility company, then you should make your views known!
You can help in several ways, for example you could
-
Sign the Tay District Salmon Fisheries Board's petition and also get your friends to do so
-
Write a letter of support to a local newspaper, e.g. the Courier, Perthshire Advertiser, Comment etc.
-
Write to or email a local politician (see below)
-
Attend one of the local politicians' surgeries
