East Yorkshire Rivers Trust

The Chalk Wolds of East Yorkshire are an important source of highly
prized spring fed rivers and streams. These watercourses make up river systems
that form the most northerly chalk streams in Europe.

established in 2006 and
has three main aims:

To protect the important habitats of the River Hull and River Derwent by working with others to enhance the conservation status of these important river systems.
