A healthier river environment for all

Since 2014, the Evenlode Catchment Partnership (ECP) has been dedicated to improving water quality, enhancing biodiversity, and managing flood risks while increasing climate resilience across the Evenlode catchment area. Our mission is to create a thriving, sustainable water environment that benefits both wildlife and local communities.

1000+ water samples tested

6+ hectares wetland created

Over 3000 young people engaged in 3 years

75,000 m3 water stored through natural flood management projects
