About us
Eden Rivers Trust is the conservation charity standing up for Eden’s rivers; changing the way they are protected, enhanced and used so that people and nature in Cumbria can thrive.
Our vision is to have clean and healthy rivers, providing a brighter future for all. To make this vision a reality, we have been working with partners and volunteers since 1996, developing and carrying out innovative environmental projects that restore rivers, improve habitats, manage floods naturally and promote water-friendly farming. These conservation activities are integrated with creative programmes for schools and community groups that promote awareness, access and learning.
As a Trust, we are Rethinking Rivers. For Good.
Based in Penrith, the post holder will work in the scenic rolling countryside of the Eden Valley and where it intersects with the north-eastern Lake District, the Yorkshire Dales and the North Pennines. We welcome applicants from all backgrounds, including under-represented groups.
The Access to Eden: Breaking barriers, building bridges partnership project has been made possible thanks to a grant from The National Lottery Heritage Fund.
