Membership
Without the generosity and cooperation of people who care about rivers as much as we do, we would not be able to carry out the necessary river improvements in our catchment. Membership and the money it generates is vital to continuing work of the Trust. It helps us keep those within an interest in the catchment’s river ecology informed and it goes a long way to ensuring our rivers are restored and protected for generations to come.
INDIVIDUAL MEMBERSHIP – £20.00 per year
By becoming an individual member you will be the first to hear about news and events via our annual newsletter and e-newsletters. You will also receive a car window sticker, as well as the opportunity to take guided tours of habitat schemes and other projects with trust staff that are not available to the general public.
