#exeestuary #overwintering

Good to be part of Exmouth protest yesterday - with 100 or so enraged swimmers, Tidelines Transition Exmouth , Terence the Turd. Let's hope that South West Water realise it's time for actions, not promises. Sadly day 15 of continuous dumping into the sea so no swimming😞

We're looking forward to helping create this new nature recovery project on the River Exe over the next few years. If anyone can help with the final bit of fundraising needed, please get in touch with Franny Armstrong

Recently Zoe from Westcountry Rivers Trust delivered CSI training, organised and supported by Bad profile Nature Engagement programme. The bankside demonstration was on the river Culm at Columnjohn, which is run by regenerative farmers Jason & Amelia from Springwater Farm. Photo Killerton

Big congrats to Sarah Finch (one of FORE's volunteers with the CSI and Legal group) on this landmark success at the courts. It's incredibly inspiring to see what a small group of people can do. Amazing Weald Action Group! independent.co.uk/news/uk/crime/…

CEO of RiverActionUK James Wallace; "Whichever party forms the next government has a long way to go to inspire belief that significant action will be taken to save our rivers, lakes & seas ... as key measures were limited or missing from the manifestos” riveractionuk.com/how-do-rivers-…

Good to work with @SurfersAgainstSewage yesterday and others from all over the SW including Extinction Rebellion - XR Exeter and @XRPlymouth and Jo Bateman and make sure that the AGM shareholders South West Water got the message.

Thanks to pippiper for making this short film of the recent protest with Surfers Against Sewage at SWW's AGM South West Water. The Environment Agency Environment Agency has ranked them as the worst performing company for pollution incidents in its 13 year history!
