New EA Head of Fisheries meets WTT

The Environment Agency in England has a new Deputy Director of Agriculture, Fisheries and the Natural Environment: Dr Kevin Austin, in post from early July.

WTT staff were delighted to spend a day with Dr Austin, showing him award-winning improvement projects in the rivers Nadder and Wylye, work that was the product of great partnership between WTT, Wiltshire Wildlife Trust, the Environment Agency area team, the Wessex Chalkstreams and Rivers Trust and local angling clubs.

WTT wishes Dr Austin every success in his new role and we look forward to carrying on our hugely productive collaboration with the Agency.
