Why The Shaftesbury Area Chalk Streams Are As Important As The Rainforest

The chalk rivers of the Shaftesbury area are considered a ‘rarer habitat than in the rainforest’.

And on Monday, a talk by watercourse expert Matt Irvine of the Wessex Rivers Trust will explain why the River Ebble, which rises from a spring at Berwick St John, is so important. Matt explains why the waters of the seasonal stream through the village are so clear.
