OK, so some of us didn't make it to Glastonbury. However, we did make it the the Downham Festival the other day! It was great to engage with the attendees to tell them about our river restoration plans for the River Ravensbourne. Want to find out more? thames21.org.uk/event/river-wa…

Great meeting about how to restore water voles to our local rivers and habitats in London. Thanks to Sam Facey of ZSL’s Water Vole (WV) Recovery Project for presenting to us. Looks like we might start looking out for mink (water vole predators) and good habitats for WVs.
