	Description:		Bristol's New Cut was built to enable River Avon to be turned into the fixed-height Floating Harbour, to try to keep Bristol as one of the most important ports in the UK, while the tidal river would be diverted through a huge trench. Now, the Cut is an urban nature reserve, a green corridor that's home to a wide range of flora and fauna. Roy Gallop took me for a walk along the river, and told me about the history, nature and future of the Cut, and how the Friends of the Avon New Cut have worked to celebrate and protect it.
