By the time we held our May meet on 21st May, the river level was falling again after some good rainfall on previous days. Before then, special work was needed to remove a substantial amount of fly-tipped items that had appeared in the Arun, and extra work was needed to mulch the young trees to prevent the earth drying out on the embankment.
The haul from the river (at that stage still running low) included one office chair, two supermarket trolleys, two bicycles, one motorised scooter, one trampoline and one plastic garden chair:
Fresh from the River Arun
The bicycles and trolleys were hauled from the water in near-working order!
Despite the rubbish, wildlife was doing well, with butterflies, dragonflies, frogs and birds all thriving.
