3, 2, 1, release! A very exciting morning releasing the eels into the river that schools in Frome have been looking after and learning about the last few months. Thanks to @BristolAvonRT for the eel expertise and @FromeCouncil for helping us fund the Eels in the Classroom project

Wriggly news! Eels have arrived in the classroom at St John’s school. We’ve funded this project along with @FromeCouncil to help kids learn about how vital eels are, they’ll watch them grow and eventually release them. Thanks to @BristolAvonRT for being excellent eel educators.

We love this map from @wwf_uk of all the rivers in the UK. Makes it easy to find our river and check the latest data about its health buff.ly/2HyJCAH

Hope everyone is keeping well while #StormEunice blows through. There are no flood alerts in place for the river Frome at the moment, but you can keep an eye on the gauge at Rodden here: check-for-flooding.service.g…
Just 14% of the rivers in the UK are in good condition. 14%!!! There can be no doubt anymore, we have to fight to save our rivers.

A ‘chemical cocktail’ of sewage, slurry and plastic polluting English rivers is putting public health and nature at risk. 📖Read our Water Quality in Rivers report, published today, at bit.ly/3fkCOJQ 🔍 #EACRivers #SaveOurRivers #CleanItUp #RiverPollution

Storm sewage has been discharged from a sewer overflow in Widemouth and has led to the closure of Bude Sea Pool - would any pool users like to comment? DM or whatsapp me - thanks @SouthWestWater @budeandbeyond @sascampaigns @SWWHelp
