Donside Watershed Initiative
The river, its tributaries and the surrounding landscape all interact. Any alterations to the geomorphology can have effects downstream or else where.
Restoring a river at risk due to habitat degradation from agricultural expansion, deforestation, and urban development to protect vital eco-systems.
Invasive species don’t just cause a risk to you but species such as the Giant Hogweed can cause lesions, scars which can remain sensitive to light.
Restoring and revitalizing the river requires no holds barred approach. Requiring multiple different angles of attack. We have a mirrad of different projects to achieve our aim.
We have and will continue to research and create reports available for download which outline key environmental challenges, biodiversity efforts, and sustainable land management strategies along the River Don. Dive into the data and learn how we are making a lasting difference in the region.
Become a volunteer, you’ll play a key role in improving water quality, restoring natural habitats, and helping local wildlife thrive.
