Community-Led Restoration

Healthy Waters.
Connected People.

The Nanny-Delvin Rivers Trust brings together communities, landowners, and local partners to restore ecological health across the catchment. This homepage tells the public story. The practical action page sits separately.

The River's Story

From headwaters to estuary, the catchment connects landscapes, communities, habitats, and water. The main page should establish who the Trust is, why it matters, and how people can enter the work.

Why This Trust Exists

The Trust exists to support practical restoration, strengthen stewardship, and turn concern for river health into visible action. Healthy rivers support biodiversity, local identity, landscape resilience, and long-term community benefit.

Our 2028 Promise

By 2028, the Trust aims to support visible, defensible progress through river corridor care, wetland opportunities, habitat repair, estuary stewardship, and citizen science. The public site should inspire trust. The action site should enable participation.

Six Local Hubs, One Shared Direction

Restoration happens locally. A hub structure helps people see where they belong and how the wider catchment fits together.

Headwaters and Source Areas

Upstream intervention matters. Source areas are often where runoff pathways, drainage pressures, and habitat condition can be addressed before impacts intensify downstream.

Middle Catchment Communities

Farms, villages, and field margins are where stewardship becomes visible through buffers, wetlands, hedgerows, fencing, and repeat site observation.

Estuary and Coastal Interface

The estuarine edge is where habitat, biodiversity, sediment dynamics, invasive species, and public interest all converge.

Healthy ecosystems underpin healthy communities.

The Trust's homepage should explain the mission clearly. It should not try to be a field protocol, reporting tool, and operational handbook all at once.

Citizen Science

Introduce Nanny Watch here, then direct people to the dedicated operational page for CSSI, training, reporting, and practical field guidance.

NbS in Practice

Show that the Trust is serious about riparian buffers, wetlands, sediment features, hedgerows, and corridor repair, without overloading the homepage with field detail.

Spartina Stewardship

Signal that the estuary requires careful monitoring and guided response. Operational instructions belong on the citizen science page, not the homepage.

Nanny Watch

Help monitor stream health, contribute observations, learn how measures function in the field, and support careful estuary stewardship.
