Sewage pollution, floods, droughts, species decline, loss of habitats, invasive species. Every day there seems to be more bad news for our rivers. It can feel overwhelming, but here at Yorkshire Dales Rivers Trust, we are committed to finding innovative solutions to the pressures facing our rivers. We believe that if we all work together – YDRT, our partners in the DVRN and you, we can make a real difference
