The Rivers Trust has updated their sewage map with all the latest data for England and Wales. It makes for grim viewing, but we want everyone to be informed about river health - and we believe you have the right to know what’s lurking under the surface of your local river.

We have also added some extra functions to the map for this year, enabling you to investigate sewage pollution more thoroughly than ever before. We’ve developed a new investigative dashboard, and the option to filter results by criteria such as parliamentary constituency or Local Authority. You can also download data by constituency or water company.

Take a look below - though we might suggest waiting until after you’ve eaten…       View the map

CaBA Agricultural Advice Hub - The Rivers Trust Movement Lunch and Learn

Alex Adam, Alison Furber, David Johnson, The Rivers Trust, Thursday 24th June, 12-1PM

CaBA's new Agricultural Advice Hub is a free-to-use online data platform that builds upon the existing Catchment Based Approach (CaBA) data package and enables farmers, retailers, and CaBA partners to more easily identify:

• Sources of local, environmentally focused farm advice within a specific area
• Key environmental issues.
• A range of different related initiatives and projects such as facilitation groups; Woodland Trust priority areas and Wildlife Trust priority catchments; NT Riverlands’ projects; Courtauld 2025 pilot areas

We know that many Rivers Trusts offer advice to farmers, often in partnership with other organisations in CaBA. By having this data hosted in one place, businesses and others can easily identify which organisations are able to offer local environmentally focused farm advice in England, Scotland and Wales, alongside any related landscape initiatives.
 
As co-operation from farmers and landowners is key to a more environmentally resilient landscape, the Agricultural Advice Hub will be an invaluable resource. Register below for this Lunch & Learn to find out more. If you missed the session, find it on YouTube
