Rivers of Life appeal
Donations to the Rivers of Life appeal will support work to improve river, farmland and woodland habitats for wildlife on the new Northern Devon Natural Solutions project. By helping landowners to protect riverbanks, improve soil health, create wetland habitats, better manage hedges and start 'wilding' areas of land, we can make real improvements to wildlife in our rivers and on the land alongside them - from orchids and butterflies on wet grasslands to declining Atlantic salmon and endangered freshwater pearl mussels in northern Devon's rivers.
