    A story about one of the worlds rare chalk streams.
    It took me nearly a decade to find out what was under my nose.

    The network of brooks that run through Watlington are part of something extra special, a chalk stream.

    It took me even longer to find out that they are under threat.
    The more I found out, the more I wanted to let others know what we have, why it is worth protecting and how we might do that.
    Whilst one of the more obscure chalk streams, the characteristics and the threats faced by the Chalgrove Brook are common to all chalk streams.
    By looking at one, we are also looking at them all.

    Streams and waterways are important habitats. It is vital that we protect and value them.
    But how do we do that?
    Find out about local organisations working to improve the brook and engage the communities alongside it.
    Dive into the magical world on our doorstep, its geology, history, and ecology.

    And have hope that our streams can be returned to their natural, rare, astonishing beauty.
    - Nicola Schafer

    Congratulations to the filmmakers. TV quality without a doubt infact better than a lot of TV productions.

    Best wishes for your restoration project. The Letcombe Brook Project in Wantage has been very successful; I'm sure they would be happy to offer advice if needed.

    Excellent film. Now let's vote accordingly at the next general election and the one party that we don't vote for is the Conservatives.

      Why bring politics into something that has nothing to do with it? Kinda childish, really.
