Tyne Rivers Trust are the only environmental charity dedicated to looking after the Tyne Rivers. The work that we do is vital to tackle the effects of climate change and support the wildlife and landscape of the Tyne rivers. We want a better river, a better region and a better life for all.
Our Vision
That the rivers, burns and loughs of our Tyne catchment encourage a bio-diverse environment for people and wildlife to thrive, now and for all time
Our Mission
From Alston and Kielder to Tynemouth, to improve the wellbeing of our rivers and people through education, tackling pollution and practical conservation. We will achieve this by working with local communities and applying our scientific knowledge and environmental skills
Our History
Created in 2004 to mitigate the effect of the construction of the second Tyne Tunnel on the river’s ecosystem, the Trust has established itself as the only environmental charity dedicated to looking after the Tyne Rivers.
