Agriculture and Land Management
Agriculture and land management play a vital role in shaping healthy landscapes and resilient communities. Our work focuses on supporting practices that strengthen soils, safeguard waterways, and work with natural systems to improve environmental outcomes across the Wear catchment.
Our Approach
Wear Rivers Trust partners with landowners to protect the River Wear catchment by tackling diffuse pollution from farms.
We directly address the sources of sediment and nutrient runoff through practical, on-the-ground support. It starts with a free farm visit to understand your operation, followed by expert advice on implementing water-quality measures that align with your business goals.
To ensure our community is well-supported, we host events on funding and share the latest knowledge on river-friendly land management.
