Keeping rivers cool: shade for climate change adaptation

This manual is intended for those seeking to create shade over rivers (riparian shade).

Riparian shade helps maintain suitable freshwater habitats for biological communities at risk from the effects of climate change. Particularly salmon and brown trout (salmonids).

This guide was authored by Rachel Lenane BSc, MSc, CEnv CIEEM as part of Keeping Rivers Cool partnership initiative. Useful to anyone with an interest in riparian land management.
