Hello!
Welcome to the Friends of River Lea Luton community page!
The River Lea runs through Luton, starting at it’s source at Waulud’s Bank, all the way through Luton, past the town centre and Luton Hoo, through Hertfordshire to East London, finally connecting with the River Thames.
Our purpose is to connect local residents and others interested in the River Lea:
• to care and love the river and its nature and biodiversity
• engage and connect with the health of the river to enjoy it
• help to protect and preserve the river
• understand the dangers associated with climate change (flood risk and drought) to protect both the river and local residents properties where you could be impacted.
We will be holding monthly opportunities to connect with the River Lea including cleaning the river, monitoring river quality, nature walks, arts and culture activities, community and cultural events and further opportunities.
Whether you are a local resident, someone passing by, a student, a professional, or anyone who has never connected with rivers and chalkstreams, this is a great opportunity for you!
See our first River Lea Litter Pick, and join us if you can!
