	Your Place - Soils near river beds....
		I'm not an expert, but conventional wisdom suggests that if you buy the land, you'd be wise to leave those willows alone as they're likely to provide you with some erosion protection in the event of a flood - not to mention shade for your stock if they're on the right side of the fence.
		It doesn't appear that there's been any recent river rising, even up to the willows, as the soil isn't terribly sandy/silty there, as it is in the actual (dry) riverbed.
		Kayakers keep a close eye on the river levels up there as a couple of the rivers can only be paddled when in flood (sounds crazy I know, but the upper Ashley in flood is a great paddle!!!).
