Restoring rivers by improving fish passage is a vital part of enhancing our river environment. One of the newest members of the YDRT team, Kate Colledge, is leading this important work. Kate joined as a Project Manager, with funding support from Great Yorkshire Rivers , which is a collaboration of Yorkshire Water, the Environment Agency, the Rivers Trust and other partners. As both a Chartered Civil Engineer and Chartered Environmentalist, she brings a wealth of expertise to the role which focuses on identifying and prioritising barriers within our rivers which prevent fish from moving freely through our rivers and streams.
