Volunteers have been testing stretches of water in East Sussex and Kent after reduced biodiversity.
It’s a picture-postcard Kent scene but the health of the River Grom that flows past the old manor house, and feeds its moat, appears to be struggling.
“I’ve met a whole load of anglers who told me that the moment the Grom enters the main Medway, the quality of the water in the Medway plummets, the wildlife plummet,” Ms Butler added. Ellie Rotheray, a senior lecturer in ecology and evolution at the University of Sussex, helps the group gather data using strict scientific methods.
