Love our Ouse CIC – is an exciting community-based initiative to link people to celebrate, raise the profile of and upscale positive action for our River Ouse from source to sea. We believe the Ouse has the right to support a rich biodiversity of life and a thriving riverside community

Love our Ouse are looking for funding to support upscaled monitoring of the river to help prioritise actions to improve the river’s health using the bold and innovative Rights of River framework.   The project will build on our Citizen Science River Ecology 101 training providing educational sessions and equipment to enable monitoring of the river in the Lewes area. There are currently 15 individuals and two local community groups already signed up in Lewes with more to be recruited as part of the River People Tour dates in 2024.  

Help them to uphold the Ouse’s right to be a healthy resilient river by utilising the power of local people to learn and act on the Ouse’s threats and challenges due to climate change and ecological threats. This project uses hands on practical means that are fun, builds stronger connections and fosters better guardianship of the river. Get involved to Love our Ouse!
