Valley Protectors

With local planning and regulatory authorities failing to control pollution, community groups around the country are responding to the challenge of monitoring and protecting their local environments.

Our speakers include:

- Nicola Cutcher, member of Friends of the Upper Wye and producer of the forthcoming live documentary Rivercide to be presented by George Monbiot and directed by Franny Armstrong.

- Paul Powlesland, founder of Lawyers for Nature and Friends of the River Roding.

- Ashley Smith, Windrush Against Sewage Pollution.

- Karen Shackleton - Ilkley Clean River Campaign (who succeeded in making the River Wharfe the first river in the UK to be granted bathing water status).

Everyone is welcome so please share this invitation with friends and neighbours. Please keep an eye on social media for further updates.

The event will start at 7.30pm, attendees can join from 7.15pm.
