How to get your hands dirty!
Riversmeet run practical activities to help keep our environment healthy and safe. These activities tend to be throughout the spring through to the autumn when plants are growing and the river is safer to venture into. No experience is needed, all you need is sensible footwear and clothing. Session tend to last 2 hours and have a group leader to explain what is needed and provide a supportive environment. These activities are a great way to get involvement in a quick and easy way that really makes a difference to where we live. Everybody can do something.
