Annual Review 2015 Message from Arlin Rickard, Chief Executive of The Rivers Trust
Welcome to our first ever Annual Review for the rivers trust movement in England, Wales and Ireland. It’s extraordinary to think that we now number well over 50
rivers trusts, with around half as many again in Scotland grouped under our sister body, Rivers and Fisheries Trusts of Scotland (RAFTS). For the first time in our history we also share the same Chairman, Andrew Wallace, who has done an excellent job both sides of the border and has helped strengthen us considerably as a movement.
It’s been a very busy year for both The Rivers Trust (RT), representing the movement and seeking funding at National and European levels, and the Trusts on the ground where I am constantly amazed and humbled by the wonderful work that takes place. The following pages are testament to the extremely important work you all deliver through a vast growing range of projects and the difference healthy rivers can make to wildlife, fisheries and catchment communities.
Key Statistics (2010-2014)
146 multi fish species barriers eased, passed or removed 87 eel barriers eased, passed or tidal flap valves installed
88 riparian habitat improvements Over 130 waterbodies with increased ecological potential
44 feasibility studies for further improvement work Resulting in over 2,800 km of rivers with improved ecological potential

Rivers Trust Support
As the umbrella body, RT provides a wide and varied support role to local rivers trusts. Some activities are behind the scenes, strengthening the strategic role of the movement and others much more locally hands on and ad hoc. Here’s an overview of some of the activities in 2015.
Trust Development Development of the rivers trust movement is a core activity for
RT with support provided on start-up, governance and project delivery. 2015 has seen a number of early-stage trusts
really find their feet and begin to deliver some significant projects.
Growth of the rivers trust movement is beginning to take off in Northern Ireland and emerge in Eire. And we have also provided advice
and support to groups wishing to develop rivers trust shaped organisations in mainland
Europe and even Grenada!
Project co-ordination
RT has a key role in supporting local delivery by coordinating efforts at larger regional and national scales. 2015 saw the closure of our largest such project to date, the Defra funded River Improvement Programme (RIF). RIF is the largest ever river restoration programme in the UK co-ordinated by an NGO (RT), with £8M+ administered to 28 trusts, delivering more than 200 individual projects contributing towards implementation of the Water Framework Directive (WFD). Other significant projects in 2015 include the Green Port Hull Fish Mitigation Project (a programme of rivers trust led projects to restore fish passage in the Humber River Basin to mitigate potentially adverse impacts of a port development scheme); a series of young farmer education and training events aimed at reducing the impact of diffuse water pollution from agriculture delivered as part of the Pinpoint project (our national strategic partnership project with Natural England, Catchment Sensitive Farming); and an exciting and ambitious EA led £10m (EU LIFE IP) project aimed at implementation of the NW River Basin Management Plan.
5
EU project opportunities
EU funded projects provide an excellent opportunity for rivers trusts to extend knowledge networks, raise their profile and access new funding sources for project delivery. Through our growing network of EU partners, RT has encouraged and supported the involvement of rivers trusts in a number of EU funded project applications in 2015.
Training and knowledge exchange
2015 has been another busy year for workshops, conferences and training events aimed at developing and sharing best practice and knowledge exchange throughout the rivers trust movement and more widely across CaBA Catchment Partnerships. By working in partnership with local trusts and wider partners, we have been able to offer training on GIS, CDM, ecological surveying and health & safety for working in or around water. Through the Pinpoint project we have been able to offer a series of free 2-day training courses on how to best work with farmers to reduce diffuse pollution and fluvial geomorphology. During 2015 workshops and conferences have included Citizen Science workshops in London and Lancaster, an annual CaBA conference in London, RT Spring and Autumn conferences in partnership with Ribble and Severn Rivers Trusts respectively and our annual Chairmen and CEO’s meeting.
Policy
We have continued to strengthen our role in supporting and influencing the delivery of policies relevant to the interests of our members and the wider catchment community. 2015 has seen a specific focus on the development of second cycle River Basin Management Plans, CAP reform and the finalisation of Water Company business plans for the AMP 6 period. RT has been well represented on relevant regional national and international advisory groups and panels for the Cabinet Office, Defra, EA, Natural England, ICES, Water Companies and academic research projects.
Communications and publicity
The pace of growth in the rivers trust movement in the last few years has been phenomenal and with such focus on delivery there is a recognition that we are not doing all the excellent work justice when it comes to communication and publicity. This is an area that we hope to give some specific focus in 2016, so watch this space and let us know if you have any good ideas.

Evidence Sharing Platform
RT has been working in partnership with Ribble Rivers Trust,
Westcountry Rivers Trust and the Environment Agency to develop
an online data sharing platform to enable better collaboration and
RT developed and co-ordinated a trial and bid for funding under the Catchment Partnership Fund National Allocation. The trial commenced in late 2014 and has led to
closer working between the local trusts and their Environment Agency counterparts, as well as other stakeholders.
The trial led to development of a Microsoft Sharepoint platform, customised metadata form for keeping track of data and evidence, a discussion platform and a shared calendar for view field work and project phases for CaBA partners.
As a result of improved evidence sharing Ribble Rivers Trust was able to secure funding from United Utilities to tackle bathing water failures, which was identified as the source of the problem in the catchment.
Other outcomes from the project include a two-way data sharing agreement that provides a template data license for CaBA partners, and an Environment Agency Special License template that will streamline licensing of many EA datasets.
The trial is now being extended to the WaterLIFE catchments (Soar and Camlad). To try this out in your catchment, please contact [email protected]

Water Quality Catchment Assessments RT has been working in commercial partnership with Westcountry Rivers Trust to develop Water Quality Catchment Assessments for Natural England (NE) in the Derbyshire Derwent, Mease, Wye & Lugg, Test & Itchen, Ehen, Welsh Dee, Yorkshire Derwent, Waveney Broads & Marshes and Yare Broads & Marshes.
The studies have involved diffuse pollution and source apportionment modelling to identify water quality issues and to spatially target a programme of intervention measures for each catchment. Workshops have been held to put catchment stakeholders in touch with the technical modellers in order to share better understanding of how models can inform catchment management.
RT has been the liaison point between NE, Westcountry Rivers Ltd. and the local rivers trusts and catchment partnerships. This role has ensured that local evidence and views have been incorporated into the study, and that outputs are accessible, well understood and adopted by local delivery partners.
8
Mentoring and Capacity Building
RT and Westcountry Rivers Trust have been working in partnership with the Defra Evidence & Measures team to support Tyne Rivers Trust, Health Waterways Trust, Thames21 and many others to build technical capacity within the rivers trust movement and wider CaBA partnerships.
The aim of the mentoring team is to work with partnerships to solve technical issues and pass expertise and experience from one catchment to the next. The focus of the team in the first year was determined by the requests received from catchment partnerships themselves. Key areas of work have been:
GIS support (both one to one and remote). Getting teams started with GIS and helping them to make best use of Data & GIS packages of data and to add local data.
Modelling. SCIMAP and Farmscoper both provide invaluable quantitative evidence for targeting mitigation measures both spatially and by sector.
Catchment planning. Although catchment plans are not mandatory they help focus engagement and draw in finance. A small amount of external support can kick start the process and allow partnerships to take on a plan and make it their own.
Turning data into evidence. This can be a resource intensive process and it requires a broad range of skills. However, it is often the only way to make progress in catchments where there is a lack of consensus over the cause of the problem and the best solution.
A technical sounding board. Technical isolation is a common issue. Just having a 'colleague' at the end of a phone to whom you can bounce ideas off, or who is able to attend difficult meetings can be a real help.
In the second year the team has been extended to include the Ribble Rivers Trust, River Restoration Centre (RRC) and Edenvale Young (an SME that specialises in flood risk modelling). There will be an increased focus on working with partnerships thatcan bring in neighbouring catchments, work with water companies or provide match funding. The focus this year will be on:
ArcGIS online. Project management and delivery. Flood risk modelling. River restoration. More one to many events.
9
WaterLIFE RT and Westcountry Rivers Trust (WRT) are partners on a 3-year WWF-UK led European Union LIFE+ funded project; ‘WaterLIFE’
(http://waterlife.org.uk/) aims to accelerate collaborative delivery of the WFD.
WaterLIFE reflects the growing recognition that sustainable management of our water resources cannot be resolved by Government regulation alone; communities, businesses and Government need to
work collaboratively to protect the freshwater environment and in doing so deliver benefits for people too. The key objectives of the project are to:
Work with Government and key policy makers nationally to ensure the right ‘enabling conditions’ are in place.
Work with businesses to demonstrate the potential for successful implementation of water stewardship.
Build capacity and empower civil society stakeholders to engage with integrated land and water management at the catchment scale.
To provide a knowledge conduit, sharing successes, ideas and best practice across the UK and Europe.
Through its primary objective to build ‘civil society’ capacity, RT is working closely with
Trent Rivers Trust and Severn Rivers Trust in the Leicestershire Soar and Camlad (in the Upper Severn) catchments respectively, whilst comparable work undertaken by WRT is focused on the Tamar catchment in the South West. Innovative approaches to delivering WFD are being explored in these demonstration catchments. WaterLIFE is closely aligned to the goals of the Catchment-Based Approach.

River Ecosystem Services Ltd. Professional catchment management services embedded in community partnership working
RT has established a trading company to open up opportunities for staff from both the umbrella body and individual rivers trusts to bid for and undertake commercial work, utilising their catchment management skills and experience. Profits from trading are covenanted back to the charity to generate unrestricted core funds for further developing the rivers trust movement.
River Ecosystem Services Ltd. (RES) can broker the capabilities of rivers trusts’ staff
within the RT network to build the capacity of trusts, for example via service provision, training or mentoring. This provides an opportunity for trusts which do not have a trading arm to bid for work that is outside of their charitable objects. RES can also act as an umbrella trading company in order to offer a comprehensive national package, incorporating professional catchment management, whilst opening up opportunities for local trusts to bid for large-scale projects.
RES is developing marketing materials around key services which rivers trusts can brand with their logos and use to develop local opportunities. It is building a portfolio of case studies and resources that can be used with support from RT staff to develop bids and proposals.
This year RES has worked for a number of rivers trusts, the National Trust, Natural England and WWF. The work has ranged from GIS and data based projects to the design of river improvement schemes.
If you see an opportunity which you think RES can help with please contact David Johnson [email protected].
