SUMMARY:Thames Connections: People\, Land and River
DESCRIPTION:On 22nd April\, please join us in Goring Village Hall for an inspiring and practical gathering focused on the future of the River Thames between Wallingford and Reading. \nBooking required: Please book your free place here: https://book.plinth.org.uk/e/X5xmWdTlJFLsO7cgYATk \nThis stretch of river is part of daily life for so many of us — a home\, and a place for wildlife\, farming\, walking\, paddling\, fishing\, or simply enjoying nature. This event is an opportunity to bring together local people\, landowners\, community groups and organisations to share what’s already happening\, and explore how we can work together to help this part of the Thames thrive. \nWe’ll hear from Thames21 about the catchment-based approach\, learn from inspiring partnership projects\, and discover more about the work of the National Landscapes and the wider vision for the area. Most importantly\, there’ll be plenty of time to connect\, share ideas and map out priorities — from nature and water quality to flooding\, access and recreation. Teas\, coffees and refreshments will be provided to keep the ideas flowing. \nWhether you’re already deeply involved in river work or simply care about your local stretch of the Thames\, your voice and experience matter. Come along\, meet others who care about the river\, and help shape the next steps for a healthier\, thriving Thames. \nSchedule: \n5.45pm – Doors open. Feel free to come early and get a drink and some refreshments \n6.00pm – Talks from Thames21\, the National Landscapes\, and Long Mead Farm & Nature Recovery Network. \n7.00pm – Workshop 1: Learn about the amazing wildlife and key habitats in and around the river in this area. \n7.45pm – Workshop 2: Have your say on which positive river projects should happen next. \nThis event is supported by the Mend the Gap programme. The vision of the Mend the Gap programme is that the outstanding national landscape that links the Chilterns and the North Wessex Downs will be enhanced and enriched for wildlife\, residents\, and visitors\, helping to heal and soften the scars left by electrification of the Great Western main line.

SUMMARY:Big Wet Wipe Count
DESCRIPTION:Help protect the River Thames by measuring the impact of wet wipes deposited on its shores! \nBOOK HERE. \nJoin Thames21 to gather crucial data on the wet wipes settling in the Thames by getting down and dirty to count them! \nUntil the Thames Tideway Tunnel was connected up earlier this year\, rainfall in central London often caused the sewers to overflow\, sending hundreds of thousands of wet wipes into the river where they accumulated on the riverbed. The Big Wet Wipe Count has allowed us to record the scale of the problem\, and we are looking for volunteers to continue these surveys\, which will now help to assess the impact the tunnel. \nTo assess the scale of the problem and the impact of the tunnel\, we are looking for volunteers to survey the wet wipes on the foreshore and record the final number. \nChildren under 16 need to be supervised by an adult. This event is not suitable for children under 10 years old.  \nThis is an event designed for the community to engage the local public with the river and not for corporates. If you are interested in a bespoke corporate volunteer day.
