We want to improve the health of our river for people and wildlife. Funding will be for transport, materials and project delivery.
About this cause
Bristol Avon Rivers Trust (BART) is a community-led organisation, which aims to deliver education, land and river based management advice and practical river restoration work across the Bristol Avon Catchment. We pride ourselves in getting our feet wet and our hands dirty and on getting things done. We do this by bringing together individual people, interest groups and community organisations with common interests and problems. We are only a small charity but our passion makes up for our size and we have already successfully rallied community power to help improve several of their rivers.
How this cause brings people in the community together
The project is a fun way of helping people to make their river cleaner so they see more wildlife, it will be much better to look at with less pollution & it will encourage more people to get out and enjoy it. The River Biss in Trowbridge has just this week been subject to a large pollution event (mass of foam) which has saddened the community and we want to reduce the chances of it happening again
