We are the host for the Derbyshire Derwent Catchment Partnership which aims to create and protect a healthy and wildlife rich water environment that will bring social, well-being and economic benefits to all.

The Derwent Valley is our largest Living Landscape stretching over 55 miles. The Living Landscape has outstanding ancient woodlands and parklands with more than 1,200 veteran trees!

Welcome to Transforming the Trent Valley - A £4.7m project for the Trent Valley in Staffordshire and Derbyshire.

Derwent Living Forest oversees the creation of woodlands through the river Derwent catchment.

Meet our partner organisations and community projects
As the Derwent connections project continues to grow, we recognise that we would not be able to achieve our vision without the support of the local communities in the Derwent Catchment area. This is why we are striking up new relationships with local groups and projects around the River Derwent to inspire the community to act against flooding. With the help and support of local communities we can make space for nature and water throughout the Derwent catchment alleviating the risks of flooding. Below is an ever-growing list of community groups and projects that we are partnering with. Additionally check out our upcoming events and regular blog posts to find out how you can get involved.

Become and member and support the river Derwent's precious ecosystem and natures recovery across Derbyshire.
