| Stand up for the Kennet! On Monday 15 June Michael Ancram MP joined ARK's compaign 'Stand up for the Kennet'. Across the country people have been literally standing up for their rivers, to show government that we care about our rivers and want the Water Framework Directive to deliver real improvements. The public consultation is now closed, but ARK will be continuing to work to make sure the River Kennet gets a good deal. Cows in Cooper's Meadow On Tuesday 2 June three belted galloway cattle were released in to Cooper's Meadow, just a short stroll from Marlborough High Street. They will graze there for around a month to help restore a traditional flower-rich water meadow. Click here to find out more.
