‼️Donate to our Big Give appeal today‼️

By supporting this campaign, you will help deliver three years of essential river monitoring across the River Lune catchment.
This includes
• Annual fish surveys at 30 sites to track species presence and abundance
• Crayfish surveys at 4 sites to update records for this endangered native species
• Long term monitoring at sentinel sites to identify population trends
• New exploratory surveys to fill key data gaps across the catchment

This data will directly inform conservation planning, helping to identify priority areas for protection and restoration.

It will also strengthen understanding of how key species are responding to environmental change, ensuring future action is guided by robust scientific evidence.

Until 29th April, every donation will be doubled through The Big Give Green Earth Raise Fund – please visit the link below / in bio today to support us.

🚨Have you seen our Big Give campaign?🚨

We are improving understanding of river health across the River Lune catchment by generating robust data on key aquatic species.

This project will enable us to:
• Collect high quality fish population data across 30 sites each year
• Monitor White Clawed Crayfish at priority sites across the catchment
• Track long term ecological change through repeat sentinel site surveys

This evidence is essential for identifying where river systems are functioning well, where they are under pressure and where conservation action will have the greatest impact.

Until 29th April, your generosity through The Big Give Green Match Fund will be doubled up to £10,000, meaning your support can significantly increase the scale of this vital monitoring work.

Please donate today via The Big Give page and help us secure a healthier future for the River Lune 🦦

DONATIONS DOUBLED UNTIL 29th APRIL

We’re thrilled to have been accepted for The Big Give Green Earth Raise Fund 2026.

Through this appeal, we are supporting vital River Lune Aquatic Species Assessments that will directly inform how we understand, protect and restore river health across the catchment.

The River Lune is under increasing pressure from pollution, habitat loss and climate change, which has driven long term declines in key species, which are critical indicators of ecological condition and their presence reflects the overall health and resilience of the river system.

This project will deliver three years of structured scientific monitoring across the catchment, tracking fish and White Clawed Crayfish populations to identify where biodiversity is thriving and where urgent intervention is needed. This evidence will directly guide conservation action and strengthen recovery planning for the future of the river.

DOUBLE DONATION = DOUBLE THE IMPACT
£1 from you = £2 for nature

NEXT WEEK: Double your impact for nature!!

Heads up that we're taking part in the Big Give and every donation made between 22 and 29 April will be DOUBLED.

That's right just £10 from you will turn into £20 for us (and this little White Clawed Crayfish)
Meaning DOUBLE the impact!

👉 The target? £20,000 to take forward our aquatic species monitoring work in the River Lune Catchment.

This is all thanks to the 's campaign and some incredibly generous major donors. If you’re a supporter of our work – or wildlife in general – please get involved next month and make double the difference.

More details coming soon!
