Hi, I'm Thomas Jackson, farm advisor at the Wear Rivers Trust. Please contact me with enquiries or questions about the work we do with farmers in our region.
We understand the importance of profitable and environmental farming for our region's rivers and farmers, so we work hard to improve farm environmental standards in a way that also benefits farmers.
Our policy is to create holistic farm management plans that work alongside natural processes to reduce pollution, build soil health, and create resistance to climate change, while also increasing profitability.
We work closely with industry leading partners to evaluate farm practices and create a farm business that builds soil health, creates resistance to climate change and boosts profitability.
Our areas of focus also include reducing the sediment run-off and nutrient losses that farmland in the Wear catchment can be susceptible to, as a result of the steep glacial valleys and ephemeral streams found throughout the area.
We are working with farmers in the River Browney Catchment region right now.
We are working with farmers in the River Gaunless Catchment region right now.
