THE National Trust Riverlands Project is the subject of a talk in The Avenue Methodist Hall, Minehead, on Wednesday.

Sammy Fraser, from the National Trust, is giving the talk to Exmoor Natural History Society but it is open to all.

The aim of the project is to create rivers that are clean, healthy and rich in wildlife, including water voles (pictured).

The audience will also be able to learn about the project’s efforts to bring Porlock Vale’s waterways, such as streams, brooks and becks, back to life with the help and support of the local community.

The talk is at 7.30pm and there will be tea and coffee in the interval for a small donation.

Entry is free to members and £2.50 to non-members, payable on the door. For further information, call 01643 841668.
