Water Friendly Farming

The Mersey Rivers Trust have developed an online hub for farmers or anyone who has an interest in farming and the environment.

It has information on water-friendly farming practices, sources of funding, case studies and useful links.

Natural Flood Management

Learn what Natural Flood Management (NFM) is, why it is important, and the projects Mersey Rivers Trust are delivering across the Mersey Basin to help tackle flooding.

Catchment Based Approach

The primary objectives of these partnerships are to collaboratively enhance water quality through River Basin Management Plans and to mitigate flood risk.

Citizen Science 

Volunteers are vital to the work of Mersey Rivers Trust, as without them, we would not be able to achieve even half of our objectives.

We use the information collected by our citizen science River Guardian volunteers to support the development and delivery of our projects through data analysis. We use several different national citizen science methods to collect various types of data. 

Volunteering

Volunteers are vital to the work of Mersey Rivers Trust, as without them we would not be able to achieve even a half of what we do.

We cover the whole of the Mersey Basin -  including all of Greater Manchester, Merseyside and most of Cheshire -  so our volunteers vastly increase the capacity of our Trust by being our eyes and ears on the ground in various ways.
