Whether as part of our volunteer River Rangers, our Citizen Science monitoring teams, reporting local news or simply making a donation, by working together we can achieve more for your rivers.
Inspired by the splendour of Sussex rivers? Want to see our water environment get better? Join us as a valued member of OART and you will be proactively helping to improve these precious waters. Our love for rivers unites us, and by joining the Ouse Adur Rivers Trust, you can play a vital role in enhancing and protecting the water environment in our area. Together, we can enhance the beauty of Sussex for generations to come.
Donations lie at the heart of maintaining the Trust and drive a wide range of projects and activities that ultimately enhance and protect river habitats for both wildlife and people. Each donation, whether it’s a one-off gift or regular support, directly contributes to the improvement of our rivers and streams and their associated ecosystems. Be a catalyst for transformation – with just £10, we can plant a tree, with £25, we can carry out comprehensive water quality testing, and with £75, we can create 5m of spawning grounds for our beloved gravel loving fish.

From assisting with delivery of projects, to onsite management and long-term monitoring, our highly valued volunteer force not only helps us deliver but is instrumental in focusing our attention where most needed for future projects.

Our River Researchers help us collect data and evidence from across the catchment which is then used to focus our attention and funding applications where they are most needed. Across three core topics of physio-chemical water quality, biological water quality, and Sea Trout Population monitoring you can become part of a growing network of trained individuals making a valuable contribution to understanding river health.

Ensuring that the environment of the whole river catchment is improved and protected into the future requires working in partnership, many of the issues our landscapes are facing are too big for one organisation alone and we must work together in developing shared visions and delivering strategically to maximise the benefits of all the work being done to conserve and enhance the landscape. We are hosts of the Adur & Ouse Catchment Partnership (LINK TO WEBSITE) and encourage all groups and organisations, large or small, to get in touch to find out how to get involved – [email protected]
We are always delighted to offer opportunities for your staff to come and get involved in our activities. Our team will ensure a safe and enjoyable environment for your team to get hands on in improving our waterways. From practical management activities to river clean ups, tree planting to the removal of invasive species, there is something for everyone to help make a positive difference to our waterways.
