Protect The Cotswold’s Rivers

About The Cotswolds Rivers Trust

The Cotswolds Rivers Trust is a team of passionate and enthusiastic river champions dedicated to reversing the decline of our rivers.

Our motto: ‘we get our feet wet’, reflects our hands-on approach to conservation since our incorporation in 2011. We don’t just talk about making a difference; we actively engage in on-the-ground projects that bring tangible improvements to our rivers. We make things happen and constantly strive to make a real and positive difference for the river, the surrounding landscape and its communities.

Our vision:

“vibrant and healthy waterways for everyone”

Our Projects

Windrush Catchment Partnership

A catchment based approach is a scalable and inclusive, civil society-led initiative that works in partnership with Government, Local Authorities, Water Companies and more, to maximise the natural value of our environment.

Catchment Based Partnerships, of which there are over 100 across England, work to achieve targets under the Government’s 25 Year ‘Environment Plan’.
