Don Catchment Rivers Trust
Share
Don Catchment Rivers Trust has been established to help protect and restore the rivers and streams in the River Don catchment area, this includes not just the River Don but also the River Dearne, River Rother and other rivers such as the Sheaf, Went, Ea Beck and many others. Our rivers are a valuable asset which tell the story of our culture and heritage. They are important for people, wildlife and the local economy, and form an integral part of our landscape.
