Westcountry Rivers Trust

About Westcountry Rivers Trust

The Westcountry Rivers Trust is a leading environmental charity dedicated to the protection and enhancement of rivers and their ecosystems across the South West of England. Established in 1994, the Trust works collaboratively with local communities, landowners, and various stakeholders to promote sustainable water management practices.

Our core mission is to restore and protect the health of our rivers, ensuring they can support diverse wildlife and provide clean water for future generations. We achieve this through a range of initiatives, including habitat restoration, pollution prevention, and community engagement programs.

• Habitat Restoration: We undertake projects that restore natural habitats along riverbanks, improving biodiversity and water quality.
• Pollution Prevention: Our team works tirelessly to identify sources of pollution and implement strategies to mitigate their impact on aquatic ecosystems.
• Community Engagement: We believe in empowering local communities to take an active role in river conservation through education and volunteer opportunities.

In addition to our hands-on conservation work, we also engage in research and advocacy to influence policy and promote best practices in water management. Our vision is a future where rivers are healthy, vibrant ecosystems that support both wildlife and human communities.

Join us in our mission to protect and enhance the rivers of the Westcountry. Together, we can make a difference for our environment and future generations.
