What a year… 2017 saw the Trust deliver the most work in the 19 years since the Trust began. After two years of planning and development it has been a Ppleasure to see the work happening, particularly because it has been across the whole catchment, covering a wide range of types of work, focused on the key issues, and in the places that will benefit wildlife and importantly people. All this has been possible due to the support of National Lottery players through the Heritage Lottery Fund. This support has allowed us to galvanise Ribble Life, our Catchment Based Approach (CaBA) partnership, quite fitting that the project is called Ribble Life Together!

This Cam Beck: over-widened, shallow channel constitutes poor habitat for aquatic wildlife because shallow water can warm rapidly during summer months, raising the water temperature to a level that fish cannot tolerate, resulting in fish kills. Aquatic wildlife living in shallow becks is vulnerable to pollution becasue the dilution rate is reduced. Shallow water also leaves fish exposed to 2 Drone image showing locations of gravel deposits before the weir removal Selside Weir Removal Coming down from the fells and arriving at Gayle Beck, we find a loose stone structure crossing the channel. Although R. Calder not a significant barrier in terms of its size, its impact on fish was considerable because of its location within the catchment’s headwaters, which crucially act as nursery streams for salmon and trout. Selside weir was made from un-set cobbles and boulders topped with stone slabs. An archaeological survey found that it once formed part of an old field boundary but was no longer in use. A fish survey determined that more salmon, trout and bullhead were found downstream of the structure than upstream, indicating that it was interfering with the natural migration of fish. As well as impeding fish movement, the weir was also affecting the transport of gravel along the riverbed. Gravel is crucial to spawning salmon and trout as they lay their eggs in this type of substrate. With the beck downstream of the weir starved of gravel, the amount of spawning habitat for fish was limited. The weir was removed in June 2017 as part of the Ribble Life Together project, reconnecting the upstream and downstream habitat.

But you may not have realised that our graduate placement, Jayne Ashe, has made a head start and has been busy supporting and co-ordinating a new 'Pendle Hill Volunteers Group' over the last year. The volunteers have been able to carry out small-scale tasks to improve the local environment of the hill, including woodland management, surveying, removal of invasives and hedgelaying amongst other things. We see this group growing and developing as the Pendle Hill LP begins its delivery phase next year. Ribble Rivers Trust have been going from strength to strength recently, with new initiatives and projects sprouting up across the AONB, including the ambitious and exciting 'Ribble Life Together' catchment- wide initiative and the River Loud Farmer Facilitation Group.
