Herefordshire river will take decades to recover from 'vandalism' (www.bbc.co.uk)

An ecologist says it will take 20 to 30 years for a stretch of River Lugg in Herefordshire to recover after being damaged by a local farmer.

John Price was jailed in 2023 for illegally removing tonnes of gravel from the riverbed to build a road and horse yard at his home and tearing out 71 trees.

He was ordered to pay £600,000 and to restore the damage he had done.

I'm glad they changed it. I guess I wasn't the only person to be frustrated.

The BBC is way, way worse for doing this around other topics, especially Israel's genocide.

What’s that clop-clop sound?

Not sure what this is a reference too, maybe I'm too young

I'm old so i can tell you , It's the sound of the two halves of a coconut @ohulancutash@feddit.uk is bashing together in protest (or perhaps delight?).

They are also painted like a zebra for some reason, probably best to just ignore it.
