Glaven Conservation

Composed of naturalists, scientists, landowners and local people committed to aquatic conservation in the River Glaven catchment

[Glaven Conservation @RiverGlaven]

This is our river, in all its glory, elegantly captured by @Josh_Jaggard. After years of fighting for clean water & better wild habitat with @N_Rivers_Trust it means alot to see this film @BBCSpringwatch

[BBC Springwatch @BBCSpringwatch]

In this series of Springwatch, we have been inviting you to take a moment of mindfulness. Relax and relish some stunning sounds and pictures from cameraman @Josh_Jaggard local patch in Norfolk.

@RibbleTrust @GlavenEel Brilliant!!!!

[Glaven Conservation @RiverGlaven]

@RussellB1ggs @NorfolkSaffron @carlsayerUCL @VolkerFitzUK @Orsted @EnvAgencyAnglia @DefraGovUK Lots silt in there. But wow nothing like glaven is taking at moment.

[Glaven Conservation @RiverGlaven]

@April200017 @carlsayerUCL @VolkerFitzUK @Orsted @EnvAgencyAnglia Love to hear his stories...

[Glaven Conservation @RiverGlaven]

@wildernorfolk @clare_pinches Tons of sediment pouring into this area will become covered in algae in summer making wading birds really work for their food. Conservation needs to start in river headwaters. These precious coastal spots will depend on this.

@jake_fiennes @HolkhamEstate @N_Rivers_Trust @DefraGovUK While the Glaven sister river is dying.

@blackgull @carlsayerUCL @LimnoGeek1 @VolkerFitzUK @Orsted @EnvAgencyAnglia @WildTroutTrust But this is not just about rainfall. V v bad practice here.

[Glaven Conservation @RiverGlaven]

Dear @Orsted @OrstedUK @VolkerFitzUK,

You have destroyed our river & all associated lakes. Please respond &
Please @EnvAgencyAnglia take the strongest actions possible to get this under control.

This is an ecological disaster. All our work over many years now undone.

[Prof Carl Sayer @carlsayerUCL]

This is the @riverglaven at Thornage Mill following mass soil loss to river from the @VolkerFitzUK @Orsted cable works. An ecological disaster. Spawning gravels now under >0.5 m of silt. Please stop this @EnvAgencyAnglia. I used to fish here as a little boy. I am broken by this.

[Glaven Conservation @RiverGlaven]

Our poor river is receiving tons of topsoil again. Very sad. @HarriermanPhil

[harrierman🇧🇼 @HarriermanPhil]

More sediment pouring off the fields into the #River #Glaven to add to the previous dollop about 10 days ago 🥺

[Glaven Conservation @RiverGlaven]

No part of a River Glaven has been unaffected by the mass soil wash off event of last week @VolkerFitzUK @OrstedUK @Orsted. Any pictures of the Estuary anyone?

[Glaven Conservation @RiverGlaven]

@eelsaregood @OrstedUK @Orsted @VolkerFitzUK We urgently need green energy but this was avoidable. V sad.

[Glaven Conservation @RiverGlaven]

Any comment @OrstedUK @Orsted @VolkerFitzUK? An ecological disaster. We have surveyed every waterbody in this catchment & we will document the destruction you have caused

[Rivers Ecology @EcologyRivers]

Selbrigg pond today after lots of sediment runoff from a nearby construction. This was nearly gin clear a few weeks ago when we were filming Pike. The river Glaven has also been hugely affected by this event. Dreadful to see.

[Glaven Conservation @RiverGlaven]

@pokey_hole @OrstedUK @Orsted @VolkerFitzUK Need keep sspil on fields. Once left field nothing much can do.

[Glaven Conservation @RiverGlaven]

@pokey_hole @carlsayerUCL No. As can see from pics of all downstream Glaven lakes no stillwater of any size can make any difference to events such as this alas.

[Glaven Conservation @RiverGlaven]

Help @dkh4 ? @NorfolkCoastNT

[Glaven Conservation @RiverGlaven]

@ArmchairRN @carlsayerUCL @VolkerFitzUK @Orsted @OrstedUK We will be working on that for sure

[Gardening 4 Wildlife @natsurroundings]

The results of last nights torrential rain. Our meadow now has a blanket of silt and goodness knows what from the fields, roads and Holt Sewage Works. We work hard to manage this meadow ☹️🦋🐛🕷️🦗🐝🦇🌱🌼 @AnglianWater @N_Rivers_Trust @RiverGlaven @GlavenEel

[Glaven Conservation @RiverGlaven]

1/2: The River Glaven is being destroyed by sediment runoff from the @VolkerFitzUK @OrstedUK @Orsted cable works. The river, its flood meadows & lakes are all smothered in soil from last Tuesday. We don't expect our rare white-clawed crayfish to have survived @EnvAgencyAnglia

[Prof Carl Sayer @carlsayerUCL]

The formerly wonderful, near pristine Selbrigg Pond @RiverGlaven today after a big sediment runoff event associated with the @VolkerFitzUK @Orsted @OrstedUK works last week. The great loves of my life are being destroyed. This lake will take a long time to recover. ANSWERS?
