Evenlode Catchment Partnership Project Caught on Camera

February 16, 2022
Our large-scale, multi-partnered river restoration project is splashing out internationally! Due to the widescale political interest in the water quality of our rivers and streams, New Scientist were looking for a river restoration story…and they found the ECP!

New Scientist’s journalist and film makers arrived on location to hear from the Partnership’s experts about the fantastic data that is being collected and to capture the Evenlode’s story. Mark Purvis set the scene, outlining the poor state the Evenlode is in. He pointed out that this is likely to be mainly due to the lack of phosphate stripping and pollution from raw sewage. This point was emphasised by a site visit to the sewage treatment works and interviews at other site locations. The New Scientist Team were also shown the Sonde equipment and the water quality data it has collected. Following Interviews were carried out throughout the day, at various sites. 

Everyone did brilliantly, particularly as we weren’t expecting a film crew! A huge thank you to everyone involved and to those that allowed the day to go ahead on private land. Thank you too, to the people behind the scenes that couldn’t make the actual day.

Thank You

Finally, special thanks to our very own Ann Berkeley for making this possible and providing sustenance for us all.
