OART’s chairman Hew Prendergast has published a new book on the Ouse and Uck – scarcely flattering names for the two fine rivers of central Sussex! Over the centuries we have, for the sake of power, transport, and water, banked, blocked, straightened and diverted them. Now, however, a new approach is emerging, involving terms such as restoration, biodiversity and natural flood management. Against a background of the historical role of the Ouse and Uck, this booklet describes current issues and sets out some of the activities underway to solve them. Cost: £7 (including p&p) For a copy please contact: hew.prendergast@oart.org.uk
