2024 has been the year of nature restoration on Ballogie Estate. This field resisted all historic draining efforts thrown at it, it wanted to be a wetland and now it is a functioning wetland!
This is part of the Cattie Burn Restoration project downstream from the re-meandered channel. Thanks to some expert help from Swift Land & Building Contractors and The River Dee team, some beautiful habitat has been created too 💚🏞️🐟✨
