The South Cumbria Rivers Trust team comprises a group of enthusiastic people who are dedicated to conserving and protecting the freshwater habitats and wildlife of the local area. We are professionals, trustees, patrons, friends, volunteers and motivated people who care!
South Cumbria Rivers Trust’s objectives are:
- To monitor, conserve, protect and when necessary rehabilitate and improve biodiversity of the lakes, rivers and streams of South Cumbria including adjacent waters for the public benefit.
- To advance the education of the public, companies and public bodies in:
- The understanding of the lakes and rivers including their fauna, flora, socio-economic and amenity value and the management of the water.
- The need for, and benefit of, conservation, protection, rehabilitation and improvement of the aquatic environment.
They have many volunteering opportunities from river fly/fish surveys to water quality monitoring or habitat restoration.
