The River Ver is a chalk stream that flows, for approximately 12 miles, from Kensworth Lynch, Bedfordshire to near Bricket Wood, Hertfordshire where it joins the River Colne. Chalk streams and rivers are globally very rare supporting plants and wildlife that depend on these unique ecosystems. Prior to 1993 the Ver had been dry for many years due to groundwater abstraction from the underlying aquifer further up the valley. Pressure groups like the Ver Valley Society managed to halt this abstraction and the river once again started to flow, if only periodically.
