Conservation organisations

These partnerships help us support practical restoration projects—ranging from riverbed restoration and bank stabilisation to the creation of new habitat features for fish and invertebrates. By pooling expertise and resources, we ensure that conservation efforts are scientifically sound and have lasting impact.

Landowners and farmers

We foster open dialogue and provide guidance on sustainable river management practices that help protect water quality and reduce pollution, for example promoting buffer strips, managing livestock access, and implementing measures to prevent nutrient run-off.

Government and regulatory bodies

By engaging in consultations and policy discussions, we ensure that the unique needs of chalk rivers are considered in national and regional water management strategies.

Research and monitoring

Partnerships with academic institutions and scientific researchers enable us to support ongoing monitoring and research over the long term. By funding scientific studies, and participating in data collection, we contribute to a growing body of knowledge that informs conservation strategies and improves understanding of the challenges facing these unique habitats.
