Cumbria's rivers trusts join forces to ensure that we all do our bit to ensure we don't pack a pest when out enjoying our lakes!

Bash some balsam and rid our riverbanks and paths of this alien invader - The weekend of Saturday July 12th and Sunday July 13th 2025

Demonstrating how partnership working, habitat transformation and sustainable farming go hand-in-hand

To mark Volunteers' Week, we're featuring a recent project that demonstrates why our amazing volunteers truly are a force for nature.

Yesterday, a class of children from Newlaithes Junior School in Carlisle were delighted to find a whole host of amazing river creatures when they visited the River Caldew.

This summer, we're on a mission to tackle Himalayan balsam and busy recruiting ‘Balsam Bashers’ to join us!

Today we well and truly bashed a lot of beastly balsam in a riverside woodland with the help of the Outdoor Adventure Group from Beaumont College!

Teachers from seven primary schools in the Brampton Area Schools Cluster joined Tania, our Outdoor Learning Manager, for a sunny day at the River Irthing in Lanercost.

We warmly invite you to join us for our annual get-together to celebrate the people and projects that are making Eden's rivers better places for people and wildlife.

National Gas were on call at our Tree Nursery, sending a team of employees to lend a helping hand as part of its corporate volunteering programme.

Over the winter months we have been visiting schools to raise awareness of pollution in our rivers and the impact this has on the river, wildlife and humans.

We're launching our new project that looks at what's beneath your feet and provides the tools and support to improve soil health and water quality in the Upper Eden.
