Unlocking the Severn

Unlocking the Severn is a conservation and river engagement project on the UK’s longest river.  The project is delivered by partners: Canal & River Trust, Severn Rivers Trust, Environment Agency and Natural England. It is made possible through funding from National Lottery Heritage Fund and EU LIFE programme.  We have restored 158 miles of  river for rare and endangered fish – with a focus on twaite shad – via 4 new best practice fish passes on the River Severn and 2 weir modification on the SSSI River Teme.
