Hello all,

Would you all please sign an electronic petition to help save a little known river and community? The river Doon is one of the few breeding grounds in the UK for wild salmon and our government wants to destroy it by abstracting water from the river to run a hydro electric plant. The resulting lack of water will reduce the flow in the river which means that the salmon will not be able to breed there as their natural habitat will have been altered too much.

Please go to:

www.savethedoon.com

Just follow the link at the bottom of the page. You will be asked to confirm your signature by way of the site sending you a conformation email. (Please be aware that this conformation message may well end up in your junk box)

By signing the petition you will be helping save the Salmon which is already in decline and save the small local community which rely on the river for their livelyhood.

Would you please ask you friends to join the petition too?

Thank you for your help
Lord Martyn

Hello ........I have signed and am sending the link to my friend ( who lives in Burnton , just over the hills from the beautiful Loch Doon . )

The Doon Valley is one of the most beautiful places that I have ever visited in Gt Britain . It would be a crying shame if the Salmons spawning grounds where ruined.

Hello all,

Thank you all so much for your support. Yesterday about 50 folks from here signed the petition. Let's hope this works. We need 45,000 signatures to stop the abstraction. We have 350 so far and it is growing streadily.

Once again thank you so much

Bless you all
Lord Martyn
