Rich in history and heritage, and teeming with wildlife, the River Holme provides wellbeing opportunities for young and old. It can be a place for leisure and recreation, or somewhere to relax and connect with nature, but it needs looking after.
Working together, we want to make the River Holme catchment a better place for people and wildlife.

Crucially, they will foster constructive partnerships with statutory authorities, local stakeholder groups, the Nature’s Holme project team, volunteers, the third sector, and community groups to ensure that local people are inspired to help us achieve our vision.
