Rivers By Griff Rhys Jones

They support wildlife,
drain the land, provide
amenities and characters;
they have created towns
and dictated the history
of the countryside as
they flow past, and have
done so hand-in-hand with
the people who live on
their banks for thousands
of years. There has
always been change, but
over the last fifty years
we have begun to lose our
ancient connections with
rivers and in pursuit of
big ambitions we are in
danger of sweeping away
the stuff that makes them
thrive. We have to
respect our rivers. They
can give us pleasure,
nurture, adventure and
delight. And you can
float on them too.
