RiverActionUK recently published its River Rescue Kit.
Using a clear and easy-to-follow format, the River Rescue Kit:
- Explains the key problems and pollutants
- Provides practical guidance, fact sheets and other resources on:
- setting up a citizen science group
- testing the river water for signs of pollution
- campaigning for improvements
- getting media interest
- raising funds
- knowing your legal rights.
- Helps find out what’s happening near you using tools and maps (SafeAvon is included).
Several informative videos are available, including those below on:
- Understanding river pollution:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JP9o6K2HnME
- Understanding the law to fight river pollution: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zd5Eq75Nigk
- Community fundraising: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WwZYhYh_6vE
Have a look, use and share to inform, inspire and mobilise your community and help protect, restore and respect the water bodies and catchments where you live.
Thank you, River Action (and funders Patagonia) for this important free resource.
