About us
The South East Rivers Trust is an environmental charity bringing rivers and their catchments back to life. We work in 12 river catchments across the South East.
We connect communities and mobilise citizen scientists to educate and engage people on the importance of rivers, and support and challenge stakeholders, businesses and individuals to protect them.
The Trust uses data and evidence to target positive action and works with nature to make rivers healthy again. This includes tackling water pollution, addressing water scarcity, reconnecting rivers and restoring habitats.
Where do we work?
The area we cover stretches from Basingstoke in the west to Margate in the east.
It includes large, lowland river systems like the River Medway making its way across the Kent countryside. We have several globally-rare chalk streams rising from our underground chalk aquifers as well as special clay rivers recognised as Sites of Special Scientific Interest like the River Beult.
We work at a catchment scale to consider all of the possible influences on the health of a river.
