Paul and Charlotte attended the RiverCare Network Meeting at Egleton Birdwatching Centre, Oakham, on 18th January 2012.
This was an excellent event, and we have a number of suggestions for additional activities on the Welland in Stamford.
We can also now tell the difference between watervole poo and otter poo! |

At an impromptu meeting in December 2011, it was decided not to organise a Stamford RiverDay in 2012.
We will, of course, be undertaking Task Days and evenings, balsam bashing, and continuing our work to restore the Millstream. |

More work on the Himalayan Balsam, concentrating on the stretch of the Welland downstream of the Roman ford. Huge stands of the alien cleared, from the bank, in the river with waders, and from the trusty canoes. Still plenty to do, and from Monday 15th August we'll be starting at 6:30pm, as the nights are drawing in... |

The Himalyan Balsam is back, and so is Stamford RiverCare! The canoe lets us get to stands of balsam beyond the reach of waders, whilst those on the bank collected litter. |

Once again, we had superb weather for our RiverDay.
Our numerous tents and stalls were well-attended, and there was great interest in the pond-dipping and insect netting.

Great progress has been made this winter on clearing out decades of growth from the Mill Stream

Following an impressive and exhausting day of work by Stamford RiverCare and 60 (yes, 60!) volunteers from Cummins, the Mill Stream has been restored along the Melancholy Walk (i.e. from Austin Friars Lane to Waterfurlong). Although the Mill Stream is flowing again (after Anglian Water's work to repair the pump and pipes), there had been such a build-up of silt and reeds that manual removal was required. The next phase will be to continue clearing the Mill Stream channel upstream of Waterfurlong Bridge on 27th November - see the Events Calendar. |

Alongwith the Town Council, the RSPB, and the Welland Rivers Trust, Stamford RiverCare will be doing an extensive river clean from 10am on Saturday 16th October. We'll be using canoes and boats to clear the worst of the rubbish from the Town Meadows down to Hudd's Mill. More details on the Calendar. |
