Our river is under threat

It’s a time of great threat for England’s rivers and waterways. 

Our River Exe gives us drinking water and wellbeing, and gives river beings at home. In contrast humans have given the Exe heavily polluted water, banks stripped of vegetation and vastly depleted wildlife.

Rising to the challenge, our 350 volunteers have led citizen science testing, an Assembly of River Beings to give river species a voice, become more connected with the river Exe and made a big splash to keep the pressure on polluters. Together we’re a voice for the Exe, acting to protect, restore and celebrate our river. Find out what we’re up to.

Join us and take action

The sorry situation we are currently in is not inevitable; the Exe can be restored to full ecological health, for the benefits of the birds, fish, invertebrates and humans who depend on the Exe for life and happiness.

From gathering together as a force for change to signing up as citizen scientists, we want to hear what you feel moved to do and would like to be a part of.
