The RSC have worked in partnership with the Environment Agency since our inception in 2005 on a variety of projects across Sheffield.
Our ongoing partnership work continues with the River Friends Project. This is delivering effective management of the waterways involving riparian owners and local communities, at six ‘show sites’ along the River Don in Sheffield.
The project aims to raise awareness of river issues and stewardship, and encourage local people to take care of their stretch of the River Don to help the river perform as well as it can in the event of a flood.
We are encouraging local residents, riparian owners, local businesses and community groups to get involved – particularly to keep the river free of litter and debris, whilst also enhancing the river for wildlife.
