We've been delivering free #waterbutts in #Corsham as part of our #NaturalFloodManagement works in the area.While we are working up in the headwaters, even small steps like having a water butt or limiting paved areas in urban areas can contribute to a reduction in flood severity!

During a survey of a local river yesterday I came across this appalling sight. Flow blocked & water polluted by a complete contempt for the natural environment. Falls on those who care for it to clean up their mess. Thank you @bristolparks for a speedy response, we appreciate it

If you live in #Frome, #NortonStPhillip or #Ludgershall then please choose BART as your @coopuk cause to help raise funds for local river based activities in your area!:

All sorts of sexy river rewiggling stuff happening - gravel and sandbanks emerging, new braided channels, deep pools, spawning redds, etc etc
The difference in habitats is unreal over what it was six months ago
Been planting trees and scrub to mix up the bank corridors

Make 2020 the year that you find out more about your local water catchment and how you can help reduce flooding events downstream on your farm @hillstolevels #slowtheflow #naturalfloodmanagement #FWAGresolutions fwagsw.org.uk/natural-food-m…

BART have completed the Caring for the Cam project, made possible by a generous grant from players of People's Postcode Lottery through @plocaltrust. It enabled 650 metres of fencing to protect the brook, 240 trees planted by volunteers and 2 fantastic community river events!

A HUGE thank you to the brilliant volunteers from @avon_angling and beyond who spent their Saturday planting 240 native trees along the Cam Brook! This will make a crucial difference to the brook and it's bankside habitat and build resilience to climate change! 🌳🌳🌳
These good people joined @BristolAvonRT planting 240 trees along the banks of the Cam brook today. Guided by the brilliant George and Simon. @bob_combedown provided the "Heroes" to keep the sugar levels up & @Theo_Pike showing the way with his spade work. #ataawaters
