Drought action waits for taps to run low instead of keeping rivers alive🚿
We need a more proactive approach to keep chalk streams flowing, protect farms & shield species🌊
This must include industry fixing leaks, & campaigns to boost water efficiency🚰

This evening, my youngest daughter and I walked a mini pilgrimage from the place where Ethel Haythornthwaite was born to the place where she is buried. It is not far, but it felt like a special journey. @cprepdsy

We’re hoping to plant 100 trees in the moorlands around Sheffield as part of our Centenary Tree Planting programme. That’s one tree for every year we’ve worked to preserve and enhance the countryside. But we need your help to bring this project to life. cprepdsy.org.uk/news/restori…

Thoughtful @newfieldsheff students think “Exploits of Ethel” is an important project because she was a “local figure and founder of a group that is still important today” – referring to charity @cprepdsy @CPRE @salthepoet @sj_unwin @GleadlessVTrees @discombobulous @susannahwright
