The River Arun
From grand and imposing castles to internationally important wetlands, the Arun has shaped its riverscape for both people and wildlife.
Our Rivers
The Western Rother
A tributary of the Arun, home to a wealth of wildlife and some of the best sites to get close to our rivers.
The River Ems
Locally precious and globally unique, the Ems is a chalk stream, a rare and special habitat to cherish.
The River Lavant
Chalk streams have been described as our equivalent of the Great Barrier Reef. The Lavant is one such chalk stream, modest in size but of immeasurable importance.
The Western Streams
Our coastal streams, or rifes as they are known here in Sussex, arise from the chalk hills of the downs. Together with many brooks and channels they wind their way through the coastal towns and into the sea.
River Emergency
We are all aware of the climate emergency and crashing biodiversity. Our rivers are facing an existential crisis too, blighted by how we live today.
