About This Podcast

Rivers are one of the most precious ecosystems on the planet. When healthy, they're a climate crisis ally, a sanctuary for biodiversity, a place of connection and play, and a vital source of drinking water. Despite this, they are under threat. Many of our rivers are barely functioning, but we're stepping in to save them. Tune into Rambling About Rivers to find out more about the threats facing rivers, the work of The Rivers Trust Movement, and what you can do to help.
