The contaminated waste piled high in a field near Kidlington is now washing into River Cherwell. In the last 48 hours, the water level has risen 4+ feet and is lapping against the illegal dump.
We stand on the edge of an environmental disaster. We need urgent action from the Environment Agency.

It looks like a rural idyll but this is the Brent by Bittern’s Weir yesterday. Some of the team were helping @brentpollution.bsky.social with river fly monitoring , checking for aquatic larvae which show the health of the river. Pleased to say the count was good this time.

A fabulous piece of writing about rivers and us.
What follows if we imagine rivers as having lives, deaths––& even rights?
I wrote this essay about water & hope; imagining rivers “otherwise”; nature’s rights; grammars of animacy; & how our fate flows with that of rivers—& always has.

As pollution levels hit record highs and fresh water becomes ‘the new oil’, is it time to radically reimagine our relationship to the natural world?
