To help us maintain and clear the river the Trust use a grappling iron, a 3 ton wire rope Tirfor winch, a 3 ton digger, a 3 ton dump truck with rope attached, waders and a very old boat. We are looking to purchase a 14ft lightweight aluminium, flat bottom work boat, to replace our very heavy and unstable ex sailing boat hull, which has proved to be very useful but unsuitable for the work we do.
