Activity   August 2006

Monitoring on the River Rye started in 2006 as part of the pilot phase of the national project.

The workshop, organised by Dr Owen Wetherall, was sponsored by Howardian Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty Sustainable Development Fund, North York Moors National Park Authority and Ryedale District Council.

Monitoring takes place quarterly on one site on the River Rye, with two further sites being established. The Ryedale Monitoring Team, led by Simon Dench, has 10 members including the local River Keeper.

The monitoring forms part of a River Rye Habitat Improvement Project by the Ryedale Anglers and The Can Do Partnership which received a Wild Trout Trust Conservation Award in 2007.
