Tuesday 20 February 2024, 7:30 pm by ZOOM

With Peter King, Director of the Ouse and Adur Rivers Trust (OART).

The River Ouse catchment contains a diverse range of streams, brooks and lakes which flow through both urban and rural settings, offering different ecosystems and habitats for a variety of wildlife and a wonderful resources for people to enjoy. The Ouse and Adur Rivers Trust (OART) believe in the importance of understanding and data-drive science. Only by being out and about on the ground, collecting a variety of information and monitoring the condition of the Ouse can we focus our efforts where they are most effective.

In his talk Pete will provide an insightful overview of the river, the state it’s in, the pressures it’s under, and some of the solutions available including a summary of some of the projects OART has under taken in the Ouse catchment over the past few years and those planned for the future.
