The Colne Catchment Action Network held its second annual conference this November.

70 individuals from 37 organisations gathered at a venue in the Colne Valley Regional Park nestled between the River Colne, River Frays and Little Britain lake.

The event showcased the latest projects from the Colne catchment over the last year, ranging from academic research projects, practical river improvements, volunteer work and advocacy work.

Delegates had the opportunity to network with new contacts from across the catchment and learn more about the variety of ways catchment partners are working to improve the river network.  

In the event feedback, delegates reported that the conference increased their knowledge of the catchment and the ability of the Catchment Action Network to take action to resolve certain issues.
