We just got back from our "waterfest," backpacking in the White Mountains, New Hampshire! Hiked up two rivers, crossing many small tributaries. Camped near one of the streams, having meals by it and falling asleep listening to the sounds of rushing water. And, the new tent held up against the rain at night! Had a great time! #hiking #backpacking #mountains

Farmers and DAERA have been told for many years that there’s too much slurry going on the land; that it’s polluting rivers and causing problems. Yet, here they are, trying to disclaim responsibility and whining they haven’t been sufficiently educated. The previous DAERA minister was a farmer - Edwin Poots DUP MLA, and he actually reduce the derisory fines for pollution, for repeat offending farmers. Talking to local councillors about the overwhelming pig factory farm odours would get you a response of ‘bit of grand country air, never did any harm’. There’s ignorance, and there’s deliberate, wilful, ignorance…
People like Kevin Sharkey, singer, have taken part in lots of media and education to try and highlight the damage, and this is the farming response.

In his new book, “Is a River Alive?” renowned nature writer Dr Robert Macfarlane, tracks the progress of that movement, in addition to visiting some of the world’s most pristine (and not so pristine) environments.

There once were barriers blocking rivers so crucial,
In Europe, they were seen as quite brutal
But workers with might
Removed them from sight
Now the water flows freely, so mutual.

If you have a waterproof camera and live in or are visiting Ōtautahi-Christchurch, NZ, I recommend dipping it in the Avon River at the platform by the Cashel Street bridge.
