AUTUMN 2013 ON THE RIVERSIDE

HILLS FARM CONSERVATION GROUP

After a very busy Summer, autumn has arrived quite suddenly.



The River Arun on 28th October 2013 - after the 'Storm' the river is running high and fast,
quite normal for this time of the year and looking as it should do, with rich river bank vegetation and willows with roots binding the banks, preventing erosion and collapse and providing shelter and backwaters where small creatures can take refuge



Road works nearby have added to our list of tasks - here we are
salvaging a WSCC Highways wheelbarrow, thrown into the river.
It has now been repaired and may be useful to us in the future! 



Never ending - throughout the year, trolleys will always
appear.
