What do you think about a new temporary route for the Thames Path between Hurley and Marlow? The potential new route was displayed at a public information event hosted by the Environment Agency on 16 Oct. The route requires permissions from private landowners as well work by the Environment Agency to widen weir walkways and provide alternatives to steep steps. Link to the EA survey ๐ฝ

Black Poplar trees are distinctive along the Thames Path, mainly because there are so few of them! A new project aims to restore Black Poplars through the Thames valley by using DNA tests to identify suitable trees for propagating and planting to create a connected network of new trees along the Thames, helping restore a species that's been part of the landscape for centuries.
