River Rangers are our eyes and ears on the ground and invaluable to our success. 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.

Practical Conservation
Providing on the ground support in delivering projects. From in-channel habitat works to planting wetland plants, trees and hedgerows, our volunteers are always involved in creating the habitat essential for all stages of river and wetland life.
Ecological Monitoring
After our projects are complete, we want to know if they meet our aims and where appropriate our River Rangers undertake ecological monitoring of a range of species. We provide training and support across a wide range of species which has included freshwater invertebrates, amphibians and reptiles, harvest mice, small mammals, birds, and dragonflies.
Preventing Plastic Pollution
Our River Rangers provide vital support in keeping our rivers clear of plastic, undertaking regular litter picks and brand audits to inform us of the rates of plastic accumulation and keep our rivers clean.
