Dear All
I do hope you don't mind me doing a round-robin email like this but I hope some of you might be prepared to help with a project I am starting to become engaged in. This is just a heads-up as I don't have details yet but if we do get going then it would be good if we could spring into action in this survey season. I am working with a group in Arundel who are fighting against the proposed Arundel bypass. One thing they want to do is encourage as much survey and information gathering along the route of the bypass as possible. To do this they have just established a sub-group (Arun Valley Ecological Survey - AVES) to bring information together. In practice this survey group will be a bit at arm's length of the campaign group - it's better to have a fairly neutral attitude to data collection rather than promote it as just an objection tool (and some of you may be in favor of the bypass!). So - sometime in the next few weeks I'll get in touch again with more details of needs, locations , times etc. So, in the meantime, please think about whether you'd like to be involved. The area we are talking about is the Arun valley and the Binstead Woods complex - an interesting area independently of any roads arguments. Some volunteers are already on the case, but the more the merrier! All the best Tony Dr A Whitbread.
