I work for the Wildlife Trust with a focus at the moment on the Bourn Brook, which rises to the east of Eltisley and flows into the River Rhee (or Upper Cam) at Byron’s Pool, running through (or along the boundaries of) the parishes of Eltisley, Caxton, Bourn, Kingston, Great Eversden, Little Eversden, Caldecote, Toft, Comberton, Barton, Harlton, Haslingfield, Grantchester and near to Cambourne. We are holding an open meeting on Weds 5th FebruaryatBourn Golf Club, 7pm-9.30pm to explain what’s been happening on the brook over the last few years, to listen to what people have to say and to find out whether anyone is interested in getting involved with looking after this local feature. Everyone welcome.
