We have a beautiful natural corridor through our town and Sue will be discussing the various potential threats to it’s health and the opportunities and strategies required to ensure the safety of both local and national waterways. With the undeniable problems of flooding and river management, particularly on the Somerset Levels, it is vital that we understand what actions need to be undertaken to ensure the long-term and environmentally sustainable health of this fundamental necessity of our life on the planet. Friends of the River Frome is a local charity of 25 years standing who’s aim is improving and enhancing our river and we welcome everyone to come along. The evening will include a brief overview of the work that the group has undertaken during the past year plus election of officers for the coming year ahead.
