We are passing on this message from Wiltshire Wildlife Trust
 |
Chalk streams are rare and irreplaceable habitats that are home to a wide variety of plants and wildlife, including kingfisher, water vole, otter, grayling, and brown trout.
Unfortunately, our chalk streams are under threat from development, pollution, and climate change. A number of Trust’s including the Wiltshire Wildlife Trust are calling for the government to take action to protect these vital ecosystems.
We are asking the government to:
- Classify chalk streams as irreplaceable habitats.
- Require new developments to be built further away from chalk streams.
- Introduce stricter rules to prevent pollution from sewage and agriculture.
You can help protect chalk streams by:
- Emailing the government using the tool here.
- Making a donation to support our work on protecting and conserving chalk streams.
- Volunteering your time to help our water team with conservation projects.
Together, we can make a difference and protect our chalk streams for future generations.
Sincerely,
Wiltshire Wildlife Trust
