The eradication of mink on North East rivers is contained within the existing bio security plans for the respective rivers. There have been a number of recent sightings on rivers being reported so I spoke to Sarah Atkinson, the Mink officer for the North east yesterday. Scottish Mink Initiative, (Aberdeenshire Project Officer),
She would be pleased to receive any sightings of mink on the Dee, Don, Ythan, Ugie or other waterways which would assist in targeting them.
Sarah mentioned she is always on the outlook for committed volunteers to assist in checking mink rafts etc.
To contact Sarah regarding mink sightings or potentially becoming a volunteer please email at s.a.atkinson@abdn.ac.uk
