About Advisory Visits
These visits provide expert, practical advice to individuals or organisations that have responsibility for a stretch of river or a lake which is, or could be, wild trout habitat.
One of our Conservation Officers will walk your stretch of river with you and discuss how you can best manage and improve the habitat. They will give you a report with recommendations and advice on techniques consents and project funding. This report is usually the basis of a habitat improvement project or change in habitat management – more than 90% of our visits and reports result in practical action.
If you would like an Advisory Visit, send an email to projects@wildtrout.org or write to the WTT office at Freepost WILD TROUT TRUST (this is the complete address) with a request for support and a short summary of the location and current management of the site.
Find out more about our Advice and Practical Help and our Projects.
WTT would like to recognise the support of the Environment Agency through rod licence monies for many of the Advisory Visits conducted in England.
