🌳🌧️ A BIG THANK YOU TO OUR VOLUNTEERS! 💚👏

A huge thank you to Mr and Mrs Bell from Kells for their generous donation of young trees, which our volunteers planted today along the riverbank below Battery Bridge. 🌱

The team planted a wonderful mix of oak, hazel, elder, beech, birch, field maple, rowan, ash and hawthorn — helping to enhance biodiversity and create a healthier environment for local wildlife. 🌳🐦🐝

We are especially pleased with the willow planted in November 2025. It is already making a wonderful contribution to the riverbank and, as it continues to grow, will provide valuable cover for the river and local wildlife in the years ahead. 🌿🐟

A special shout-out to all the volunteers who turned up and worked through the driving wind and rain to get the trees planted! 🌧️💪 Your dedication and commitment to improving our rivers, whatever the weather, are greatly appreciated.

Thank you also to the landowner for kindly allowing us to plant along the riverbank.

Real community spirit — working together for the future of our rivers! 💚🎣

Imagine if the new Fisheries, Aquaculture and Water Environment bill actually had teeth…

Instead the maximum fine for water pollution will be capped at £50,000.

Imagine if South West Water could only be fined 0.6% of what was actually awarded. They’d be smiling all the way to the bank.

Imagine the damage that has been done to award £7.8m in fines. Are we any different here?

South West Water has been fined a record £7.8 million for polluting beaches across Devon and Cornwall.

Our investigation found that hundreds of sewage spills took place over six years at bathing spots and some of our most sensitive habitats.

🌍💙 Happy World Rivers Day! 💙🌍

Today is a reminder that our rivers are so much more than places to fish. They are the lifeblood of our communities, home to incredible wildlife, and something we all have a responsibility to protect.

At Kells, Connor & Glenwherry Angling Club, we're incredibly proud of what our volunteers have achieved. Our members have dedicated hundreds of hours to restoring, monitoring and enhancing the Kells, Connor and Glenwherry river system.

Our volunteers have:

- ✅ Carried out monthly River Fly Monitoring and water quality sampling.
- ✅ Identified and reported pollution incidents affecting our rivers.
- ✅ Restored spawning habitats and introduced spawning gravel.
- ✅ Planted native trees and improved riverbanks.
- ✅ Installed stock-proof fencing to protect vulnerable stretches of river.
- ✅ Worked hands-on to improve habitat for wild brown trout, Dollaghan trout and Atlantic salmon.

But our work doesn't end in the river.

We have also spent countless hours lobbying government departments, agencies and elected representatives for stronger action on water quality, pollution enforcement, habitat restoration and science-led management of our fisheries. Our rivers need a strong voice, and we're committed to making sure they're heard.

A massive thank you to every club member and volunteer who has given up their time, pulled on the waders, attended meetings, carried out surveys, and worked tirelessly to protect our local rivers.

Together, we're proving that local communities can make a real difference. Here's to healthier rivers and a better future for generations to come.

Happy World Rivers Day! 🌊🐟
