What We Do

The Eden Rivers Trusts projects fall into three broad categories; 

Research; electro-fishing and habitat surveys give an indication of the health of the catchment. The results are used to plan and prioritise conservation work.

Conservation; the Trust carries out a variety of projects as part of the conservation programme to halt, and hopefully reverse the damage to the river catchment. These include habitat restoration, the introduction of fish passes to increase access to the spawning grounds for salmon, trout and lamprey, stocking and advice on land management.

Education; educating people, particularly the young, about the river catchment, how important
it is and how to look after it is the key to taking more care of the environment in the future.

In all of its projects the Trust aims to consult and involve the local community to encourage ownership and sustainability of initiatives.
