Malmesbury River Valleys Trust

AGM :
Enviroment Agency Presentation about our river.

Come along on Friday 3rd February at 7.00pm for the Malmesbury River Valleys Trust Annual General Meeting.  After the AGM business we will have a presentation from the Environment Agency - we will be able to ask questions and understand the role the EA has on making sure our rivers are healthy and well.

State of the River

What is happening to the rivers flowing round Malmesbury?  They seem to be over grown and slow moving.  Is too much water being abstracted?  Is it due to shortage of rain?  Or is something else happening?

Update 10 November from Simon Withey at Wessex Water

 - the tests on the Luckington stream support were successfully completed last week. Due to rising flows in the Sherston Avon stream support from Stanbridge has now been turned off and abstraction from Luckington has been set to the minimum 2.5Ml/d.

Schools Week 2011

About 300 children came to our Schools Week this year.    They spotted birds, identified plants, examined microbeasts, looked at trees and listened to the birds singing.

They told us they had a good time.  Their teachers told us that they shared in the childrens' learning.  We all enjoyed it too.

The Malmesbury River Valleys Trust  was founded in 1992 to acquire and manage land in the Malmesbury River Valley for the benefit of the people and wildlife of Malmesbury.


In 2008 Conygre Mead became one of the first designated Local Nature Reserves in Wiltshire.
The Trust has a policy of completely open access to its land.  Dogs are requested not to mess up the paths and cyclists should always give priority to people and animals.
The MRVT also owns land at Wynyard's Mill which was kindly donated to the Trust in 2001 by Peter and Betsy Little.

If you would like to help with land management please turn up at 10 am on the first Sunday of every month.
If you would like to become a member download an application form,  and return it to the address on the form or by email.

We are always looking for interested people who would like to join our management committee too.
