Working for East Yorkshire Rivers Trust

The Chalk Wolds of East Yorkshire are an important source of highly prized spring fed rivers and streams. These watercourses make up river systems that form the most northerly chalk streams in Europe.

The East Yorkshire Rivers Trust was established in 2006 and has three main aims:

• To protect the important habitats of the River Hull and River Derwent by working with others to enhance the conservation status of these important river systems.
• To educate and assist in developing projects to achieve improvements in habitat.
• To support and fund scientific surveys on the streams to identify problem areas.
