Did you see #WildIsles this week? Over 90% of the worldโs #chalkstreams are found in Southern England. Our Hampshire Avon is one of the biggest and most ecologically important, supporting a wide range of plants and wildlife. We must conserve and enhance this natural wonder.
The power of #partnership ! ๐

What Anglian Water really thinks of rare #chalkstreams . The continued long-term pollution in this spot is a disgrace. Dozens of reports to EnvAgencyAnglia over 2yrs. Toilet paper, faeces, #ecoli covering the road too. BBC Look East ITV News Anglia James Wild MP Joe Crowley Joe Lycett
This morning we were up with the larks before work removing paint tins and rubbish that had been chucked into part of the chalk stream network by some idiots. Remember, they walk among us. โน๏ธ
Thanks to Russell ChalkStreamsInCrisis ๐๐๐ for his help with this.

How is a slick #SaveOurStreams on your X banner compatible with the reality on the ground Affinity Water ๐ฆ ?
Time to change your misleading marketing, or reduce #abstraction and restore #ChalkStreams
Water is not a commodity, it is a habitat!

Great job by the river clearing team in the Misbourne in Amersham this week. Get involved in improving the flow of the river through Amersham, St Giles and St Peter! Contact Bob Older at Misbourne River Action. Next river clearance this Sat 16

This is how all #ChalkStreams should look (the result of a The Wild Trout Trust, Wessex Rivers Trust #RiverRestoration ).
Good to see this issue getting visibility - it's a huge problem for @ChilternsAONB's #chalkstreams too, as highlighted in a 2022 report by Buckinghamshire Council.
