Windrush Catchment Partnership
A catchment based approach is a scalable and inclusive, civil society-led initiative that works in partnership with Government, Local Authorities, Water Companies and more, to maximise the natural value of our environment.
Catchment Based Partnerships, of which there are over 100 across England, work to achieve targets under the Government's 25 Year 'Environment Plan'.
The Windrush Catchment Partnership brings local knowledge and expertise together to deliver integrated development of catchment plans, underpinned by robust data and evidence. The aim is to deliver multiple benefits, including improvements to water quality, enhanced biodiversity, reduced flood risk and benefits to the local community including improved health and well-being. The partnership aims to develop a strong convening power, providing a local catalyst to bring together local and sectoral interests.
​
The principle focus areas include:
-
using and managing land sustainably
-
recovering nature and enhancing beaty of landscapes
-
connecting people with the environment to improve health and well-being
-
increasing resource efficiency and reducing pollution and waste

The Windrush Catchment Partnership has published a story map outlining our vision, aspiration and action plan for improvement to the freshwater environment as set out by the Windrush Catchment Partnership.
​
The StoryMap is a publicly available, accessible and engaging plan that documents the work being done and to be done to return the catchment to its former glory.
