3. Build community engagement through education & awareness.

There is much that could be done to raise public awareness of the value and issues facing our rivers. Key to this is the need to connect communities to their local river. North Wales Rivers Trusts could play a major role in bringing this about through information, education and by facilitating citizen science to monitor the state of our rivers.
