We connect people who support our aims.  Community groups, parish councils, farmers & landowners, businesses and individuals in all parishes in the River Avon catchment - South Brent, North Huish, Diptford, Loddiswell, Aveton Gifford, Bantham & Thurlestone and Bigbury.  

We team up with the River Gara & Slapton Ley catchment (Blackawton & Stoke Fleming, East Allington, Slapton) and the Salcombe Kingsbridge Estuary (Kingsbridge Town, West Alvington, Malborough, Slapton, Frogmore & Sherford, Charleton, South Pool, East Portlemouth).

NATURE-BASED
SOLUTIONS

The BLUE Print Project links up volunteers, funding and farmers. Capital infrastructure and Nature-based solutions, identified as essential by farmers, will form part of the next stage 'development plan' after the BLUE Print Project. If you are a farmer in the three BLUE Print catchments, you are warmly invited to express an interest. You will be invited to farmer gatherings to find out more. We look forward to partnering with you.
