Earlier this week, alongside @theriverstrust, The Woodland Trust and @UKY4N, we were joined by MPs to hand in a letter signed by 25 cross-party MPs to the Prime Minister, calling for action to restore our rivers by making #SpaceForWater.
A group of people stood on Downing Street in London, holding up envelopes. In the middle of the group is a large sign reading "Restore our Rivers"
Restoring river corridors can protect against floods, clean our water, & boost wildlife🐟
Yesterday, MPs joined calls for funding for farmers & landowners to make #SpaceForWater 💧

As flooding and drought events become more intense with our changing climate, we need affordable, nature-based solutions - this is where making #SpaceForWater comes in.
Discover why giving rivers more room could protect you and your local community 👇
Whether you wild swim, paddle, row, fish, or walk the towpath, healthy rivers matter. But pollution, flooding and drought are making our rivers less safe to enjoy.
Find out how making #SpaceForWater could benefit you and your local river 👇
💧 On scorching days like today, it’s clear our rivers can’t cope with drought or floods. Only 1/3 of river stretches are in good health. We must make #spaceforwater: buffers, wetlands, trees. Govt must back farmers to restore rivers at scale. Sign the petition: makingspaceforwater.com
Sound good? Here's how you can help.

✅ 200k+ people reached
#SpaceForWater #NFM
