The data is in your hands: find out where & for how long untreated sewage reached your river.

Today, Defra announced that £11 million from water company fines will be reinvested to improve our water environment.

However, this is only a fraction of what's required to restore our rivers.

Chief Executive of The Rivers Trust Mark Lloyd responds to the announcement 👇

Lichen, blossom and toads... A small and vibrant oasis is springing to life in the beaver enclosure! 🌸🐸

Thanks to these ecosystem engineers, a rich habitat has emerged, providing a safe haven for countless species.

This is important evidence, based on a field trial looking at the impact of Beaver in relation to flood risk Spains Hall Estate in Essex. The wetlands created by these creatures perform multiple valuable functions, including water storage at times of peak flow

One small (10 acres) wood in East Anglia is now holding back an additional 3 million litres of water thanks to a single family of beavers.

And they’ve done it in 5 years.

They are one of many solutions we know work but are reluctant to implement. players.brightcove.net/1995276282001/…

The diverse pool depths created by the beavers form a nourishing habitat for our essential pollinators like this bumblebee 🐝

The shallow pools provide hydration and a cool refuge during warm periods, aiding their important work.
