Hey ecologist friends. Where can I source spare parts for a Longworth trap?
Yes.
Responsible access to clean cool water is a matter of public health, social justice and climate resilience and a swimmable river is a healthy one for all the other lives that call it home.
So much of the dial-shifting river activism and wild service requires trespass. @yorkshirewater.bsky.social refuse to countenance swimming. But a swimmable river is a healthy one. So to water industry and government, my message is simple: Let. Us. In.
The session was called ‘The future’s in our hands: reclaiming our rivers’ To which I say, not yet it isn’t. Not until the water industry is wrested back from private profiteering and we have uncontested right of access to less than 4% of English rivers.
