Our Vision is to see all Westcountry rivers and freshwater environments flowing freely and teeming with life, for all who depend on them.
Our Mission is to keep bringing rivers to life in the Westcountry to achieve our vision and benefit nature, people and local economies.
Our work is underpinned by science, evidence and experience and a commitment to the resilience of the region’s freshwater resources.
Whether we are working with farming or fishing communities, improving river habitats, mapping landscapes or monitoring streams, it is all to bring our rivers to life and keep them healthy for wildlife and people, both now and in the future.
