Would you like to be a Trustee?

In the last 4 years we have made great progress and have several exciting projects planned for 2020-1. We have a great team of trustees but are looking for additional trustees to augment our skills. In particular we need people with expertise in Ecology and in the use of Social Media.

Its aim is:

To promote and encourage for the public benefit the development in the community of, and the provision of, safe routes, paths and facilities for walking, cycling and horse riding, based on the original routes of the disused

railway lines between Sutton Scotney and Alresford via Kings Worthy in Hampshire and known as The Watercress Way, and to undertake and carry on projects and activities of a charitable nature which will assist in promoting recreation and the protection of the environment.
