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

Insanely delightful morning hosting @SEGandrewK of @EelGroup on site for our May Friends of the River Frome committee meeting 💧 We learned SO much about European eels. Mind blowing. Explored our stretch of the river, too. Very much enjoying life as a new @forfrome trustee 🙌 – at South West, England
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.

Here's another example, in this case a dead hedge to reduce excessive bank erosion, which we recently delivered with @forfrome and @FromeCouncil... teapawt.org/FromeCouncil/status/16…

How cool is this? Meander - the beautiful new yearly update from Friends of the River Frome - featuring a section on the local wild-living beavers 💧 @forfrome @NaturalEngland

Fantastic work yesterday in #Frome’s Rodden Meadow with our local #TroutInTheTown chapter @ForFrome. We trimmed back overhanging laurel bushes to let more light into the river (also noticing #beaver feeding sign on a fallen willow, and carefully leaving it in place!)

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
Throw back to river clearing at Adderwell. Serious amount of debris retrieved from the water. We 💙 our brilliant volunteers.
