Muddy Walk Training is a course for anyone who enjoys walking by the river and would like to know how to identify and report pollution hotspots. Throughout the Kennet valley, water laden with sediment, fertilizer, oils and nutrients enters our rivers. By identifying the sources of this pollution we can take steps to reduce it. Following last year's successful course Karen Davies will be running another on the 29th of March, starting and ending at the Dundas Arms, Kintbury, and including lunch. If you would ike to attend please register with Carolyn by email: carolyn@riverkennet.org or call 01672 513672 For full poster please click here 27 February 2014
