Pool & Bank Maintenance

---

A program of pool maintenance is carried out on the Novar beats each spring: fallen trees and log jams are removed from the river and bank side trees, overhanging branches and shrubs pruned. The banks are flailed and then strimmed throughout the length of the Novar beats around the last week in June.

In addition to the the normal pruning and strimming, work carried out in 2009 included:

B1 Burn - all shrubs cut back RB

B1 Kinloch Bridge - all shrubs cut back RB
