We are proud to have recently
welcomed five new members of staff into the Welland Rivers Trust this summer on
a temporary basis to offer their skills across a wide range of roles.
Humanities students Joe Franklin and Alex Leaver are focusing on promoting the
online status of the Trust via our social media accounts and blogs (listed
below) and updating the website: www.wellandriverstrust.org.uk
so as to keep everyone across the Welland catchment who is interested in our
work in the loop.
Working on the
Stamford Mill Stream project we have two Zoology students; Nikki Warden and
Cameron Grundy, and a Sixth Form student Leon Nixon, a Nuffield Research
Ambassador. Their aim is to gather data by mapping river habitats from
consecutive stretches of the Welland River and the Mill Stream in Stamford. Their
findings will be used to determine whether or not redistributing water flow
from the river to the historic stream would provide an overall benefit to the
local ecology.
