As we launch our charity's latest campaign Bringing Rivers to You to help connect and reconnect people to their rivers and freshwater habitats, it's fabulous to chat with our citizen science and volunteer coordinator Jack Middleton about why water environments are important to him and to our volunteers.

You'll discover more about the value of our citizen scientists' contributions to river health science and understanding and why taking part is beneficial for many different reasons. Jack also shares the watery spaces that have inspired him and continue to do so.

And, if you'd like to share your love of rivers with us on the podcast or would like to suggest someone we can chat with, email [email protected] - you can find out more about our charity at wrt.org.uk too.
