Well done @camvalleyforum on your successful bathing water campaign! England gets 27 new bathing sites – but no guarantee they’ll be safe for swimming https://t.co/JF8BDNAxrV
@Georgethesci However access is very close to our heart and if we had our way we’d turn the Ouse Valley Way into a national trail with commensurate funding to maintain it!
@Georgethesci Worth contacting the council who’s responsibility it is to ensure public footpaths are maintained: https://t.co/bfodsmkd7M.

This is the River Ouse in St Ives today.
Across Cambridgeshire we are experiencing a lot of flooding, so we have pulled together some useful link links for further information or should you need help and support.

Happy New Year from the Great Ouse Rivers Trust! We had an exciting 2023 with our launch and look forward to developing further in 2024. Thanks for all your support 😊!
Rather magical encounter with a pair of Otters at Priory Country park, Bedford. Couldn’t work out what was hissing at me, then spotted them, about ten feet away. The dogs just sat there, dumbstruck by these strange creatures! Isn’t nature brilliant….
1/ Michael Gove visited Cambridge today, for the first time since announcing plans to ‘turbocharge’ Cambridge, and build up to 250k new homes by 2040.
The Key challenge remains, where is the water coming from - a thread.
We have been working hard with partners and volunteer groups to free the Bedford Ouse from Pennywort.
Floating pennywort is an invasive aquatic plant which forms dense mats that clog up rivers.
As you can see by the pics, our hard work has paid off 😀
It was fascinating hearing about @numenini’s underwater river explorations. Makes you see the river in a totally different light. Fantastic photos & wildlife like you’d never imagine! https://t.co/Fv1oe9j6ep
Honoured that @greatousert wanted to find out about my river snorkelling in the Great Ouse catchment, which began July 2020, a silver lining of the lockdown. It's led to many adventures

We're delighted that yesterday councillors decided that @camcitco would formally support our application to @DefraGovUK for #bathingwaterdesignation for the cam at Sheep's Green #Cambridge . Many thanks to all!

The Riverfly Monitoring Initiative (RMI) has been pioneered by the Riverfly Partnership to provide a standardised monitoring technique which groups use to detect any perturbations in river water quality.

Thank you everyone who surveyed the Great Ouse and it’s tributaries. This new survey has been a massive success and we look forward to hearing what we can find out about our river from it.
This weekend is the #BigRiverWatch. It’s easy to do your bit as part this nationwide survey. Download the app pick a spot on the river to survey, and away you go!
