For聽decades聽new salmon ladders in the Beiarn river has been kept alive and now it happening 馃檪聽
The work is progressing rapidly. When the new ladders are completed (planned November 2024), wild salmon and sea trout will be able to move聽 upstream the very beautiful Beiarn valley.
New ladders means approx. 250% increased spawning distance. All the wild salmon, which for 7 years have been transported upstream through the salmon fishery, will soon be able to swim freely home to their childhood pool.
This is the current status:
路 Forest clearing and road contract have been completed.
