Open day in Pateley Bridge gives people chance to learn about local rivers
The Yorkshire Dales Rivers Trust is hosting an open day in Pateley Bridge this weekend to give local people an insight into its work.
The environmental charity protects local rivers, including the Swale, Ure, Nidd, Wharfe and Ouse, by carrying out educational projects and engaging with communities.
The open day will tell people about its work in areas such as water sampling, flood management and controlling non-native species, as well as highlighting the importance of healthy river environments.
A representative of Nidd Action Group, which is campaigning to clean-up the Nidd, will be among a number of guest speakers.

There will also be two guided walks along the Nidd, a lunch time poster session and a session in the Rivers4U mobile classroom where people can enjoy learn about the river and life within it further.
Soup, coffee and cake will be on offer during the lunch session.
Dr Marie Taylor, chief executive of the trust, said:
The event will take place on Saturday, September 16, from 11am – 3.30pm.
It will be held at the Riverside Scout Hut in Pateley Bridge and is free to attend.
