The Rivers & People volunteering group, who are in Lewisham's rivers each week have had a good summer of spotting European Eels.
We've seen many in both the Quaggy and the Ravensbourne which is a wonderful sight!

There’s only two days to go until the general election. We won't tell you who to vote for, but we will tell you that the next government must prioritise rivers. We want clean, healthy rivers for people and for wildlife.🧵⬇️

Happy 20th Birthday Sutcliffe Park!

On 12 June 2004, the park reopened with the restored #RiverQuaggy and a woodland wetland habitat that helps cut flood risk to homes by storing storm water.

How did we - QWAG - get this done? https://t.co/v13Tiig1Ox

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.
