Bristol Avon Rivers Trust (BART) is a community-led organisation, which aims to deliver education, land and river based management advice and practical river restoration work across the Bristol Avon Catchment. We pride ourselves in getting our feet wet and our hands dirty and on getting things done. We do this by bringing together individual people, interest groups and community organisations with common interests and problems. BART helps to realise these as achievable projects by adding their experience, practical science skills and by using its volunteer support. We are only a small charity but we have already successfully completed several habitat enhancement and river restoration projects. We are keen to encourage people to develop a sense of ownership of our waterways by working with communities on stretches of their local rivers.
