Severn Rivers Trust

The Community Environment Network aims to connect community groups working on environment action, boost their efforts, and also inspire and support new groups. 

Severn Rivers Trust is an environmental charity working to protect and enhance the river Severn and its tributaries and streams. 

As an action-based charity, during March they recruited volunteers in and around Dudley to survey the River Stour. 

Volunteers were fully trained on how to take water and visual samples of the river to assess it's health.

Results from the surveys were shared with Severn Trent, the region's water company, to support with their work to reduce river pollution. 

Surveying took place around Stourbridge and Lye.
