After a months locked down, in the ensuing three weeks our keepers managed to check and open up all the beats, strimming all the paths and removing trees blocking them - see one of them posing here - the head keeper had just emulated the River Manager last season falling in up to his arm pits! As your River Manager, I should like to publicly

congratulate them on their hard work on your behalf.
Great job. It can't have been easy catching up with nature!
