Earlier this week, I visited the Rottal Burn on the River South Esk, Angus, Scotland, with 11 RRC members. This project won the reach-scale award for the 2023 UK River Prize. Kelly-Ann Dempsey from the River South Esk Catchment Partnership and Craig MacIntyre from the Esk Rivers & Fisheries Trust walked the group along approx. a 1km stretch of the burn. |

In the grand tapestry of life, rivers serve as vibrant threads, weaving together diverse ecosystems and fostering a rich array of species. Yet, these life-giving arteries are under threat, their vitality diminished by human activities. |

River Habitat Survey Course, Warrington 21st – 24th March
At the end of March I attended the RRC's River Habitat Survey Certification course. It was one of the first RHS courses to be held post-pandemic and it was fully booked. Before the course had even begun, I felt lucky to be on it.

A couple of weeks ago me and a group of RRC Members visited Enfield in North London to see the Albany Park Restoration Project on Turkey Brook. Ian Russell (Enfield Council) and Matilda Biddulph (Environment Agency) were kind enough to show us what they have achieved.

Yesterday I attended the RRC member site visit to Garrell Burn in North Lanarkshire, Scotland. Despite heavy rain in the early morning, the sun came out and we had sun the whole rest of the visit! The mornings rain was perfect to help show off the work that has been done at Garrell Burn! |
