Our Origin

Community groups and organisations working in the Avon attended the Island Assembly organised by Sustainable South Hams in March 2023.  We formed a network to encourage collaboration within the Avon and with other river catchment groups to help wildlife flourish and clean up our rivers. We are part of the

South Devon River Champions network

Meetings & Events

We regularly liaise with groups from other catchments in South Devon and host group discussions and field trips.  To join in, promote a meeting, organise a field trip or event please use the contact form below.  Sign up to Avon River Watch alerts about events in the River Avon. Artists, photographers, scientists, landowners, farmers, parish councillors, businesses and householders are warmly invited to join us. 

Action

 We welcome Force4Nature volunteers for conservation, communication, event organisation and Citizen Scientists for water monitoring  trained by the Westcountry Rivers Trust. We want to create awareness of the impact of over-development and poor waste management on pollution in our rivers; identify ways to create less pollution and celebrate the beauty of the River Avon at festivals and exhibitions.
