Friends of Langstone Hbr.

Home Up

The Friends of Langstone Harbour is an organisation that you can join for just £2.00  It was formed in 1997 to coordinate a wider interest in the care of the harbour.  Its objectives are to help maintain the harbour and its surrounding environment, to protect and preserve the countryside and wildlife along the coast and to advance the education of the public in relation to use of the harbour.  E Mail me if you would like me to send you a leaflet.

 

Friends Work Parties

April 25th Farlington Approach Path

We had earlier cut back scrub on the bank but the path was still untidy with lots of growth between the edging and the path.  We cleared most of that and knocked back some regrowth on the bank.

February 28th Brockhampton Stream Path.

We cleared an area of the path edge back to make the stream accessible over a bit of its length and also removed two oil drums that have littered the stream for ages.

January 31st Path Clearance

We cleared the vegetation along the shore-line path between the Eastern Road roundabout and the entrance to Farlington Marshes to about 1m back from the edge.  This may keep the path clear through the summer.

IS YOUR VOICE HEARD?

The Friends of Langstone Harbour are represented on the Advisory Committee for the Harbour, we initially had an Observer role but are now full voting participants - this shows the high respect our organisation has gained within the Harbour in a relatively short time.

The Advisory Committee to the Langstone Harbour Board are keen to make sure that anyone interested in the Harbour has a chance to put their views or ask questions. They have established two working groups one Environmental, one Maritime, which members of the public are welcome to attend. Points raised in the working groups are then passed on to the Advisory Committee for action. If you are interested in attending either of these groups or wish to know what topics are being raised on the next agendas please contact one of the following:
