If you’re into urban rivers and everything about them (like we are) there’s no bigger or better event than London Rivers Week…
… which has just been launched on the banks of the Ravensbourne in Ladywell Fields in Lewisham.
As Thames21’s London Rivers Week web hub says:
London Rivers Week aims to inspire people like you to take pride in our waterways, understand the challenges they face and come together to create a healthy future for our rivers.
Catchment Partnerships and environmental organisations such as Thames21, ZSL, London Wildlife Trust, the Environment Agency and the South East Rivers Trust are putting on public events, walks and talks at special river sites.
London Rivers Week is a chance to celebrate the capital’s many rivers, and all the work going on to rewild and restore them. This includes bringing them above ground (daylighting); creating or restoring new wetlands, or breaking them out of concrete channels. Londoners all across the city are helping reclaim, rescue and restore our rivers, and we urge you to join them!
London Rivers Week 2017 is sponsored by Thames Water (psst… the Thames Tideway Tunnel is on its way!) and there’s lots more information here to help you get involved…
