We are delighted to share that our CEO, Kathryn Soares, was nominated by the Lord-Lieutenant of Northamptonshire to attend this year’s Royal Garden Party at Buckingham Palace. 🌿👑

Kathryn has been at the heart of Nene Rivers Trust’s journey for many years, helping to grow the Trust from its early days into the ambitious, impactful organisation it is today. Her passion for environmental change has touched countless projects, partnerships and communities across Northamptonshire.

While Kathryn would be the first to say that this recognition reflects the collective efforts of our fantastic team, volunteers, partners and supporters, we are immensely proud to see her commitment and leadership acknowledged in such a special way. 💙

We would like to extend our sincere thanks to the Lord-Lieutenant of Northamptonshire for this incredibly kind nomination and for recognising the importance of protecting and celebrating our natural environment.

What are you up to Lee.....

Our Project officer spends many hours out in the field working on landowner engagement, site assessments, data collection, supervising the delivery of projects and of course enjoying the weather as well.

Over the past few years and .northants have been monitoring the flow and depth of the Harpers brook in and around Brigstock village.

Monitoring is sometimes overlooked but is a vital part of the flood mitigation process, data needs to be collected before and after installation of natural flood management features to study the effects of the project.

The data that this and other projects collect can demonstrate the positive impacts that natural flood management has on our water course and communities.

With sharing data across organizations/authorities we can enhance our impact for the future.

MAKE RIVER TIME 🏞️

Our engagement officer has been out teaching the students about the S.P.As (Specially Protected Areas) in Northamptonshire.

These protected areas are vitally important for migrating birds and Ryan has been giving advice on how we can better protect these sites, through presentation and an amazing activity called MAKE A RIVER.

The activity gives participants the chance to build their own river and see where they think you would place certain features along the watercourse.

It's a great learning activity, where making a mistake is definitely not a bad thing.
