Misbourne River Action's primary goal is to have the river flowing to its natural potential through the valley and for its corridor to be maintained in an attractive and environmentally sensitive manner.

Thanks to the good work of many volunteers and organisations over several years, the river is now in good shape from its source down to and through Amersham so our efforts are focussed on the section downstream of Quarrendon Mill all the way through to Chalfont Park. We have plans and proposals for a variety of restoration and rehabilitation work - some of which has yet to gain approval from the Environment Agency.   At present, typical tasks include tree, brush, and weed clearance, rubbish removal and bank repairs.

Our programme for 2010 essentially comprises working parties approximately every five weeks on Sundays or Saturdays with informal planning chats in a local pub a week or so beforehand.  Tentative dates are shown below but all events will be confirmed beforehand with details of venues, specific tasks etc. advised in our regular e-mails to volunteers.

Some volunteers choose to do their bit at a time to suit them - some by adopting a short section of the river; others with a regular litterpick as they walk their pets; others in our weekday group.
