Our objectives
West Cumbria Rivers Trust has a crucial role to play in raising awareness and increasing understanding of West Cumbria’s rivers and lakes. We do this by connecting with people locally to make a positive difference to the health of rivers, lakes, people and wildlife. To this end we have three core objectives, each with a specific set of goals.
Connect
Engaging communities and partnership organisations to enjoy our rivers and lakes by connecting people with rivers and nature.
Goals:
Improve
Restoring natural processes within the catchment and making changes on land to optimise the passage of clean water for flood mitigation and water quality whilst improving habitat and connectivity.
Goals:
Protect
Protect the unique biodiversity of our catchments by connecting habitats to protect wildlife at a catchment scale.
