Following on from the successful Wild Trout Survival Guide, we identified a need for more detailed and practical guidance on habitat enhancement techniques specific to river types, in this case, chalkstreams.  This led to the publication in 2008 of the Chalkstream Habitat Manual.

The manual is in Portable Document Format (pdf) and requires Adobe Reader software for viewing.  The manual is arranged in easy to read sections, listed below.  These are low resolution versions and are available for free download.  The high resolution version of the manual is available to purchase from our online shop here, or call the office on 023 9257 0985.
