Our Vision is for a vibrant and healthy Thames River Basin.
We are a charity and a Rivers Trust 💦
TRT brings together organisations across the Thames River Basin, and fosters collaborative working to benefit the environment, wildlife and communities.
Thames Rivers Trust is looking for a new trustee.
We are especially interested in people with a scientific background, ideally in Freshwater Ecology, Environmental Biology, Environmental Science, Aquatic Conservation or Zoology.

This is a voluntary role.

Help make space for water!
We're a nature-depleted nation, yet thriving riparian corridors can support biodiversity in & around the river.
We’re calling on the UK Government to fund farmers and landowners to Make Space for Water.
