I met up with an old colleague of mine Gavin Beat, who has moved on from the Canal & River Trust to join Frog Environmental as a Senior Technical Specialist. This role involves delivering innovative environmental management, pollution control and sustainable water quality solutions. This month, he has taken the time to share his knowledge and use of using bubble screens in waterbodies.
Ever wondered what’s involved with dredging our waterways or the kinds of unusual objects that have been found? Well I went along to meet my former colleague Nick Smith National Waste Management Surveyor for the Canal & River Trust (Trust) to find out how the Trust operates.
Last year I was desperately trying to find a WW2 costume for the Victory Show and that led to a chance conversation with Rob Pearson (who was then the MD of Golden Cage), about sustainability and the environment.
