Surveying the misnamed 'Gatwick River' (actually the manipulated and re-directed River Mole and Mans Brook...and there is a separate Gatwick Stream) NOW is like putting fresh paint on 'The Portrait of Dorian Gray' (actually the sweet painted face of a corrupted and vile man, as those who have read the Oscar Wilde book will know).
Such volunteering will only help to paint Gatwick Airport as a sensitive and caring environmental manager, when it is intent on the destruction of a huge swathe of ancient, much loved and used and wildlife-rich countryside for a second runway.
What we need people to do is make records of...and get them to me...the wildlife of the landscape which Gatwick Airport has targetted for destruction. THAT is the task we should be advertising.
Get to it, you un-corrupted environmental recorders !!

Actually, some of that area IS the landscape which has potential to be destructed (the River Mole, Crawter's Brook and Man's Brook would be diverted again). SxBRC are receiving plenty of uncorrupted data from the whole of Gatwick since a partnership was set up... Gatwick can hide nothing.

This event is in aid of educating locals, encouraging biological recording and increasing data on Gatwick's landholdings. I also hope it will be a good bit of PR for the chaps at Gatwick Greenspace Parnership, who in my opinion are quite underrated by the airport.

Also, my apologies for the generic event name. River Mole Wildlife Recording Day at Gatwick seemed a bit of a mouthful, but maybe we should have stuck with it.

Be good to see you there Dave, I promise none of us will have Gatwick Airport staff badges on!

All the best
Rachel

Oh not again. Stop undermining the efforts of others because they don't suit your particular agenda. Implying that people are corrupt is unnecessary and rude.
