“The Letcombe Brook Project is well established in the locality. It has played, and continues to play, an important role in raising awareness to local communities along the brook and the Environment Agency values the contribution the Project has made over the years.”

“The Beavers really enjoyed the sessions, and Mark’s obvious expertise was really engaging. The activities that Mark led helped the Beavers to appreciate the brook and the nature reserve. Several of the parents approached me afterwards to 
say how much they had learnt as well!”

“Before meeting Mark our year 3 pupils were unaware of the importance of the brook so close to their homes and lacked knowledge about ecosystems. Mark kindly arranged a talk for each class that was very well organised and had pictures children could relate to. We then organised a stream dipping trip and Mark came for a final visit to hear from the children all about their learning and to find out how they, as tomorrow’s citizens, will look after the brook. Without Mark we would not have had the expertise or equipment to lead such an engaging activity. Invaluable!”

“Working parties are great fun, working with like-minded people and a great deal of satisfaction is received in the working sessions.”

“Volunteering for the Letcombe Brook Project provides a good workout physically with the option to work at your own pace and for as long as you feel comfortable. It also provides the opportunity to meet other like-minded people and usually develops into a lot of light hearted banter with plenty of laughter.”
