Adur River Paddle Safari
Join us together with Moxie Unleashed to learn more about the the Adur River around Shoreham which is a very special and protected site - known as a Site of Special Scientific Interest. This intertidal stretch of river and site of mud flats and salt marsh is a haven for many birds providing rich nutrition and also roosting places. Regular inhabitants such as Oyster Catchers and and Little Egrets are joined by migratory and over-wintering birds such as Redshank and Lapwings and many more. It is also a much loved paddling destination with its beautiful scenery and easy accessibility from Shoreham By Sea.
The river is a living system that supports a variety of habitats and species but it is struggling with multiple challenges and threats. We will also share a little bit about the work of the Adur River Recovery Project that is happening to support the restoration of the river and how you can get involved with Friends of Adur SSSI to help.
This two hour safari will begin with a short introduction about the unique characteristics of this SSSI. Then we will take to the river. Along the journey we will share guidance and knowledge to help you paddle with care and reduce your impact on this fragile habitat.
