The River Dee Trust’s education program receives support from CNOOC International, TAQA, The Dee Salmon Fishing Improvement Association and Apex Tubulars. Without this support we would not be able to do the outreach work that we do, and bring the River to a wide range of children and adults.
Through our education program we aim to increase awareness, enthusiasm for, and understanding of, our rivers in Deeside and Aberdeen City. Working with schools and community groups, we enable children to undertake outdoor learning in a safe and fun manner and introduce them to the river on their doorstep.
Please contact our education officer Jane Lilley on education@riverdee.org or 01339 880411 if you wish to take part or have any queries.
