Our next talk is on Friday 20th May at 7.30pm and will now be will be via Zoom as well as live in the Abraham Dixon Hall of the Leatherhead Institute at the top of Leatherhead's High Street.
It will be by Sue and Nigel Bond and is on THE FRIENDS OF THE RIVER MOLE
FRIENDS OF THE RIVER MOLE is a new group formed to encourage people to take an active role in protecting the river from current threats to its health. Much of the talk will look at the whole of the Mole’s 487 square kilometre catchment and the current condition of the river and the tributary streams.
We all love the river but we are not taking proper care of it. Threats include sewage pollution, agricultural runoff, domestic misconnections, persistent chemicals and invasive plant and animal species. Concerned people are getting involved in actions to help address these threats.
Sue and Nigel will add some points on historical themes directly relevant to our local district. Nigel Bond is our Archaeology Secretary.
After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing the meeting link and passcode.
