Community map

The Community Map is your essential tool for joining the fight to rescue our rivers – connect with groups in your area already taking action or find support for your own campaign. You can also view other interactive maps below to help with your campaign.

Select each community pin to find out more about what’s happening in that area and ways to get involved with an active campaign. You can use the filters to find other groups facing similar issues or those who’ve taken actions you’re interested in, to learn from their experiences.
