💧 It all flows to the river. This #PlasticFreeJuly, we’re sharing simple swaps to cut plastic waste and protect the South East’s rivers. Every bit of plastic we use can end up in our waterways—harming wildlife & polluting habitats. 🌿 Let’s be part of the change.

🧼Switching to a shampoo bar means saying goodbye to single-use plastic bottles clogging our rivers. 🤯A recent poll suggests that if everyone in the UK made this simple change, it could save a staggering 260 million bottles every year! Why not try it this #PlasticFreeJuly?

⚠️💧 The UK has seen the driest spring on record. Rainfall was just 72% of average & in some areas river flows are down by 50%. Low flows = pollution builds up fast, harming wildlife & habitats. 💙 Together we can build #WaterResilience & restore rivers: #Drought

💧We all need to reduce our water usage – and not just in times of #drought. Despite its reputation for rain England faces increased threat of water shortages. Join Charlotte on the low riverbanks of the Granta, for her 7 tips to reduce water use at home: youtu.be/qomcvA_oc-0

This summer is already one of the driest since 1976. As you can see from this video, the River Wandle’s flow is low at the moment. it's not the only river suffering in the country. Low river levels can lead to decreased dissolved oxygen in the water, which can harm aquatic life.

Why did the hedgehog cross the road? Because it could, thanks to SERT & Natural England. Our WETHogsmill project, funded by Natural England’s Species Recovery Programme, includes a mammal pass—bypassing 10 lanes of traffic and connecting two nature reserves. 🦔 #NatureRecovery

The Water Commission’s final report is out & action must follow. Some will wish it had gone further, but if government moves quickly, these recommendations can still bring real improvements for our rivers, communities & environment. Our full statement👇 theriverstrust.org/press-releases…

Our ecologist spotted a Wasp Spider while monitoring the Chamber Mead #wetland — a non-native but eye-catching find! 🕷️The wetland is flourishing, with healthy plants and abundant aquatic life — proof that nature-based solutions work.
