The Renewal Project
Newbury, UK
The RENEWAL Community Project (Restoration in NEWbury along the river Lambourn) follows on from The Heritage Lottery funded programme, and work carried out on the river by the Environment Agency, which began in 2009 and aimed to help restore chalk river characteristics. We organising activities and events relating to both the river’s wildlife and history and have recruited a team of volunteers to carry out practical conservation work in and around the river, including river clean-ups, wildlife monitoring and meadow management. As part of our outreach programme, we work in partnership with a local community centre and organise activities such as river dipping, wildflower planting, mini beast hunts and craft activities for local children.
