Working with a wide partnership of organisations the River Nene Regional Park is in a strong position to deliver projects around its core themes which include:
In November, 2017, River Nene Regional Park secured a £2.6 million investment from the National Lottery Heritage Fund to begin a five-year Landscape Partnership project. Communities and visitors along the River Nene will benefit from 16 projects delivered by 11 partners, providing opportunities for local people to develop skills, improve access to the water, restore wetland and wildlife habitats, uncover and celebrate the area’s history and develop tourism.
Our vision is a healthy and resilient River Nene, where the local wildlife prospers alongside agricultural and recreational activities.
Our goal is for River Nene Regional Park to become an independent, inclusive, reciprocal and beneficial partnership of public, private and third sector members. It will be nationally and internationally recognised as the centre of excellence for the piloting, co-ordination and delivery of regional sustainability initiatives. It will address strategic issues such as climate change, the enhancement of local biodiversity and the innovative development of the environment as an asset for social development, education, leisure & recreation, heritage & cultural activity, and as a primary vehicle of economic regeneration.
Even in one of the most turbulent years we've ever known, the Rivers Trust movement has achieved some truly incredible things and its Annual Review for 2020 is now available to download.
