2024 has been busy, with an increasing interest in the river and water quality. We are now coordinating the testing for most of the length of the river, and expanding with other interest groups along tributaries with the aim of providing an understanding of the whole catchment.
There has been a lot of work at Allee's Meadow as part of the management and maintenance of the river. With the drains cleared and the scrub down to a manageable level, we plan to make more use of this resource for visits and activities. The watervole re-introduction project includes the meadow as part of the plan, though it will be some while before the next stage of that. Despite the weather trying to disrupt things earlier in the year we have been able to get to several events and schools to talk about river studies. All this is shown on our calendar, and details of how to help are on the Volunteering page.
Future outings - including some Public events - are shown in the Calendar.
On a pleasant sunny day some 100+ friends of the Trust enjoyed the garden at Bramshott Mill, a glass (or maybe more) of Pimms, and strawberries and cream to accompany their picnics. As a celebration of the 40th year of the Trust, there was cake!.
The duck race was enjoyed and caused some riotous cheering.
The Annual Meeting for 2023 was held on the 1st November- again in the Canada Room at Liphook's Millennium Centre.
The business of the AGM and a report of the year's activities was followed by a presentation on Water Meadows from Roger Miller.
The minutes and supporting papers are available here.
