River Detectives

Let The River Detectives, from Helvellyn class (Y5/6) at Shap Primary School, introduce you, in a fun and engaging way, to some of the pressures on the health of our rivers and the wildlife that depends on them. This short film will help you learn about what healthy rivers need, how farmers are helping to protect them and why this is important for us humans too.
