The Alde & Ore Association
Taking care of the
Alde & Ore Estuary
What we do
We undertake a wide range of activities aimed at preserving the natural beauty, heritage and biodiversity of the area and encouraging the responsible enjoyment of the rivers and landscapes.
We do this by:
- campaigning for the upkeep of the sea and river defences that protect the area from catastrophic and irreversible damage of flooding
- raising awareness of the area’s heritage and unique natural ecology
- monitoring for man-made and natural threats to the fragile ecosystem including water monitoring
- challenging planning applications and developments that will destroy or detract from this special area while supporting positive developments
- commissioning studies and independent professional consultants to provide evidence of change, assess the potential impact of threats and inform the best course of action
- making representation and contributing information to public inquiries and government consultations that affect the area
- promoting responsible use and enjoyment of the rivers and surrounding landscapes, including sponsorship and operation of the Butley Ferry and maintenance of footpaths
- supporting conservation of the natural habitat while maintaining a balance with people’s use of the landscape
- encourage a local economy working in harmony with nature
- establishing partnerships and working with local organisations and national bodies that support our aims.
