5. Hampshire Avon - Garden Meets River Edge

Wiltshire Wildlife Trust is working with Natural England to help homeowners, local contractors and estate agents living and/or working within the River Avon SSSI to understand why the Hampshire Avon is so special and the legal requirements, permits, and consents are applicable to people who own and work on the SSSI river. There is a particular focus on how to manage the river bank in a wildlife-friendly way, appropriate for the SSSI designation.
