Tichborne Restoration Project Site Visit
|
Yesterday Jackie and I travelled down to Hampshire for a site visit at the Tichborne Restoration Project, near Alresford, near Winchester. The group of 20 delegates gathered at the Tichborne Arms in the small village of Tichborne, sheltering from the heavy rain by crowding under trees! The rain did not stop throughout the whole visit, and the advised wellies proved essential. |

River Otter Beaver Trial site visit, Devon
Last week RRC held their Annual General Meeting (AGM) at the Devon Clinton Estates, between East Budleigh and Yettington. This coincided with the second RRC Members Site Visit of the year, to the River Otter Beaver Trial in Devon. Following the RRC AGM in the morning, the RRC team, along with our extended Board of Directors and a small group of RRC Members, ventured to a couple of sites on the search for local beaver activity.
