Clean our rivers! #yarnbonb #tuffleyavenue #environmentagency
Amazing effort from our volunteers at Durbridge Mill today. They braved the awful weather to work with our tree surgeon felling and coppicing dead and diseased alders. What a team! #habitatimprovement #environmentagency #alders #coppicing #riverleado
Great use of woody debris to transform a full width blockage into a fish holding feature. #habitatimprovement #riverleadon #woodydebris #woodydebrisinrivers
Great team effort at Durbridge last week converting a huge blockage into a feature that’s perfect for fish and fishing! Thanks to @envagency for support #fisheryimprovementproject #anglingimprovementfund #habitatimprovement #riverleadon #gac #t
Ingenious work by our member Barry Townsend to improve river access at Upleadon. #riverleadon #gac #anglingimprovements
