Takeaways:

  • Although Finland is the most heavily forested country in Europe, rewilding teams are chopping some trees down for a river restoration project.
  • These teams are adding dead wood to the water, gravel to the riverbend, recreating old spawning grounds for fish and moving rocks from the riverbank into the water.
  • The goal of these projects is to create healthy habitats and the big win will be to see if after these efforts, the trout will return to them.
