Wear Rivers Trust

Our goal is to protect, improve and help manage the land and water ways of the Wear Catchment, to benefit all who live, work and play in the region.

We focus on  improving the environment of our urban and rural communities, using nature based solutions to problems like pollution, flooding and habitat loss.

We raise awareness of the value of the River Wear, including its flora, fauna, social and economic benefits. We help people to understand the need for conservation and restoration, and promote exploration and enjoyment of this precious resource.
