About RSC

Our History

The River Stewardship Company (RSC) was established by a group of public and third sector partners including Sheffield City Council, Groundwork Sheffield, Sheffield Wildlife Trust, Environment Agency, South Yorkshire Forest, Five Weirs Walk Trust and Upper Don Walk Trust.

The RSC is a company limited by guarantee which undertakes riverside management work for riparian owners, and community projects involving local communities and volunteers.

With the continued support of the founding partners the company has developed expertise in waterway habitat management and community involvement, delivering a holistic approach to managing waterway issues.

The RSC is managed by Helen Batt, and governed by our board of trustees from the founding partners. The company currently employs 3 River Stewards and a team of four Voluntary River Stewards.
