AGM + Caring for the River Mole Talk
We will first hold our brief AGM which will be followed by the the talk.
Myth has it that the River Mole is so named because it flows underground for part of its journey through Sussex and Surrey. Rising Southwest of Crawley the River Mole flows Northwards to the Thames, and in its upper reaches it has an extensive network of tributaries including the Gatwick Stream, the Stanford Brook and the Burstow Stream.
As it flows downstream it passes through historic Norbury Park before flowing through Leatherhead and eventually joining the Thames at Molesey opposite Hampton Court Palace. The Mole is famous for its spectacular river cliffs near Box Hill and its swallow holes where the river at time of low flow disappears underground before emerging further downstream.
The Southeast River Trust co-host the catchment partnership for the Mole with the Surrey Wildlife Trust.
