WTT/EA Large Woody Debris review meeting Apr-2009

This week I'm meeting up with Paul Gaskell ("Trout in the Town") and Tim Jacklin (Projects) both from WTT, and Kevin Nash our EA Fisheries Officer, to review the installation of LWD on the DNMAC sections of the Goyt.

Hopefully there will be talk about a "Phase Two".

I'll let you know the outcome.

Working-party Sunday 29-Mar-2009

We had a fantastic turnout for this year's Spring clean: nineteen Disley & New Mills AC members and a local Councillor, Beth Atkins. Thanks to everyone who took part.

This year's effort was focused on the Torrs in New Mills.

During:

After:

Cllr Atkins arranged that High Peak Borough Council would collect all of the rubbish we dragged from the river.

I wonder if Peter Jackson, Stores Operations Manager Region/Area for Co-operative Food who operate the supermarket in New Mills, wants his trolleys back? There are plenty more downstream if he does!
