World Rivers Day is an annual event held on the fourth Sunday in September – this year falling on the 22nd. A celebration of the world’s waterways, the day highlights the many values of our rivers, strives to increase public awareness, and encourages the improved stewardship of all our rivers.
As we approach World Rivers Day, Herts and Middlesex Wildlife Trust, the leading voice for conservation in the area, is drawing attention to the area’s rare chalk rivers and introducing its new collaborative approach to improving their ecological health.
