The River Dee Trust is a community-based charity established in 1998. It strives to enhance knowledge of the ecology of the River Dee, so that practical improvements and restoration of the river and the wildlife it sustains can be achieved. This includes the endangered Atlantic salmon, otters and freshwater pearl mussels. The Trust also delivers educational information to schools, organisations and individuals living in the North East of Scotland.
The Fife Arms has been supporting the trust since 2023, and in January 2025 officially became River Dee Guardians, demonstrating the hotel’s commitment to supporting their work. As a River Dee Guardian, the Fife Arms enables tangible conservation work to take place in the North East of Scotland.
Guests and visitors to the Fife Arms can support this important cause by choosing to donate £1 to their dining bills. These kind donations help to protect the River Dee for future generations, preserving the health and vitality of one of Scotland’s most iconic rivers.
