Brentcatchmentrivers

Suggest a project

Propose a restoration, monitoring or community action for the River Brent catchment.

Step 1

What makes a suggestion useful

The partnership reviews every suggestion against the objectives in the catchment management plan. A useful proposal names a specific reach or site, describes the problem it addresses, and identifies who would take part.

Suggestions do not need to be complete. Early ideas are welcome, and the partnership team will contact you to develop them further where they fit the plan.

Side note: proposals about land you do not own should name the landowner or describe how permission would be sought.

Fit with catchment objectives

Community involvement

Projects that involve residents, schools or local groups are considered alongside technical merit.
