For over 20 years our team of conservation and restoration specialists has been delivering 200+ projects in the Trent catchment. As a registered charity we have reconnected and restored many miles of rivers, planted ten thousands of trees, educated thousands of people, worked with hundreds of farmers, businesses and landowners on river-friendly practices and continue to champion the rivers, brooks and streams that shape our communities.
We believe that at their very best, rivers in the Trent catchment are a source of life and joy. Wild, natural, healthy and accessible places to be cherished.
Whether you’re living close to a river, own adjacent land, enjoy our rivers on a swim, walk, paddle or an angling excursion, we believe that by working together, we can restore rivers that can be appreciated and loved by everyone. To achieve this, we work with local partners, communities and as part of the national Rivers Trust movement.
We use data, collaboration and a network of local contacts we have built for over 20 years, creating nature-based solutions to tackle the most pressing issues affecting our rivers.
We cannot work in isolation. Our work with communities and the broader public educates and enthuses people about their river and what rivers do for us and vice versa. We create opportunities for volunteers and vulnerable groups to boost their wellbeing as they lend a hand on our projects, work with schools to showcase the wonders and practicalities of our river work and create access to the river, partially through our ambition to create a source-to-sea walking path alongside the Trent. We also know the public are our eyes and ears and know their rivers as well as being citizen scientists able to provide a whole lot of useful information.
