The Protection of Water Courses
- Follow best pesticide & fertiliser practices
- Slow down water drainage through capture and help prevent flooding
- Minimise soil erosion and run-off into water courses
- Limit livestock access to water
Southern Streams is a farming cluster group of more than 23,000 acres with land that delivers water to the River Kennet, River Dun & Shalbourne Brook.
From the end of the Pewsey Vale to the start of the Chute Causeway, along the North Wessex Downs to the river Kennet at Hungerford and to Savernake Forest near Marlborough.
The farmer members in the group are all committed to enriching the landscape and biodiversity on our environment, whilst enhancing water quality in the rivers, streams, lakes and ponds.
Please take time to visit each section of this website to find out more about what we aim to do or look at our “Members articles” to see what we are up to.
