A Land Yeo Friends member has painted a glorious picture of the Land Yeo and would like to sell it with all proceeds going to the group. Below is a recent press article giving details of the picture and his contact details.

People are keen to help with litter picking, however we are an ageing group and are always looking for support for administration and management of the group. Not so glamorous as litter picking; it doesn’t require a lot of time, but it keeps the organisation alive. Feel free to come to a meeting or email via this site if you are interested.
==========================================================================
We have been successful in receiving funding to undertake a three year phosphate and nitrate water sampling campaign of the Land Yeo from the motorway downstream to the outfall. Sampling has commenced and a graph of results so far is on the news page.

Two Rivers Walk is open, a pdf of the brochure is below. Small waymarking signs have been erected around the whole route on lampposts, gates etc. TO PROTECT THE PERMISSIONS WE HAVE FOR THE ROUTE; PLEASE STAY ON THE PUBLIC FOOTPATHS AND PERMISSIVE PATHS AND FOLLOW THE COUNTRY CODE.
PLEASE NOTE THE DRIVE CALLED “POWELLS ACRES” AT THE END OF THE STRETCH OF RIVER AFTER THE MEDICAL CENTRE IS PRIVATE LAND. THE WALK ROUTE TURNS RIGHT HERE AWAY FROM THE RIVER INTO KINGSTON AVENUE

Beautiful
Beautiful countryside.
I walked part of the Two River path today taking a short cut home past by the Craft Centre.
Beautiful
We did the two rivers walk recently too, such a lovely and interesting route!
It’s such a great walk, thanks so much for the signposting.
Excuse my ignorance but where is the two river path?
