The new LFCC constitution is now available form the link below and open for comments. It became obvious that the original Constitution of the LFCC was not workable and needed substantial revision. The Committee have revised it and the draft posted on the LFCC website is open for consultation by LFCC members. We will vote on adopting the revised Constitution at an EGM to be held at the next LFCC meeting on 28th September. Any comments or amendments can be sent to the Chairman or Secretary in advance to arrive no later than 26th August.
The 26th August is so that any amendments can be posted by 28th Aug in line with the current Constitution.

- Hits: 1269
American Signal Crayfish (Pacifastacus leniusculus) have been widely established in the UK since the 1970's and have had many adverse impacts including the near extinction of the native White Clawed Crayfish (Austropotamobius pallipe). This presentation discusses efforts to control this invasive species in south west England.
Dr Nicky Green has been working with crayfish since 2003 and has recently completed a PhD on the control of American signal crayfish. She focusses on practical and effective methods to control invasive crayfish and has worked on Exmoor and elsewhere since 2015 trialling new and innovative techniques.

The South East Rivers Trust (SERT) is delighted to launch their Storymap about the River Loddon, on behalf of the catchment partnership. Discover the landscape, the pressures both the river and surrounding land face and the work being done to improve the river for people and nature. The partnership involves a huge number of organisations and groups, working to improve the whole river network rather than sections in isolation.
