Through the 3 Dee Vision Project, a range of interested groups have been either consulted with and/or become involved with the work in the catchment. For example, we have:

• Worked with local farmers and the MacRobert estate to install ‘buffer strips’ and ‘wetlands’ aimed at improving water quality and providing greater habitat in streams

• Worked with local farmers, councillors and land owners to identify the scope of river management problems and identify potential sites for storage of flood waters

• Consulted with Aboyne community on issues regarding flooding

• Consulted with Tarland community on issues relating to the design of the waste water treatment plant and broader issues of catchment management

• Consulted stakeholders and designed a demonstration sustainable flood storage area

• Worked with the Tarland Development Group to establish a wetland in the village

• Commissioned a local artist to work with Tarland school children to produce a river mural

• Worked with the local salmon interests (Dee Salmon Fishery Board and the Dess and Aboyne Water Group).
