The Aire Rivers Trust
Shipley, UK
The Aire Rivers Trust has a unique role as a voluntary body set up to help improve the quality of the River Aire and its catchment, in order that all river and catchment users can enjoy a better experience of the river. Our Vision for the River Aire A thriving river valued for its environmental, social and economic benefits, and which is actively appreciated by the community for its diverse ecology and contribution to flood risk management. 3 Key Aims 1 Good ecological status for river and tributaries 2 Reduced risk and consequences of flooding 3 Improved community appreciation of the river We oversee the continuing regeneration of the river and its tributaries following our industrial past. The river has improved dramatically over the last 40 years and we aim to continue the journey back to a pristine watercourse that residents can be proud of. We were set up in 2011 to carry out projects that improve the condition of the river for its wildlife and for people to enjoy.
