Loch Garry Project

A study of the arctic char population of the loch conducted by Ron Greer between 1972 and 1974 concluded that it had become ecologically impoverished as a result of the loss of living and dead plant material from the shallow littoral zone. In 1986, the Loch Garry Project was established to undertake a programme of tree-planting around the loch.^[3]
