Save the Seething Wells Filter Beds!
I recently visited an old friend – the filter beds at Seething Wells, as I hadn’t been for a while. I was shocked with what I found. They’ve drained most of the beds, and almost completely denuded the site of any greenery or nature, although that’s been an on-going process. Coming up to the local…
