The Colne Catchment Action Network

We act as catchment host for two catchment partnerships: The Colne Catchment Action Network (Colne CAN) and the East Hants Catchment Partnership

We also implement a wide range of river restoration projects from controlling invasive non native species, to monitoring water quality including citizen science to installing fish and eel passes on weirs. 

The Colne Catchment covers over 1000km2 across parts of Herts, Bucks, Beds, London, Surrey and Berks.

Groundwork host the Colne Catchment Action Network (Colne CAN) co-ordinating delivery of a wide variety of landscape management projects including habitat enhancements, weir adaptation to improve fish passage and tackling invasive species problems. As the Colne CAN progresses we will continue to build strong relationships to involve more communities, businesses and local organisations so that we get as many people as possible working to improve our waterbodies. We adopt the Catchment Based Approach (CaBA); an inclusive, civil society-led initiative that works in partnership to maximise the natural value of our river systems.

The East Hampshire catchment ranges from rolling chalk downland to the medieval Forest of Bere to the urbanised coastal plain, which has significant nature conservation interest with broad enclosed tidal harbours, extensive salt marsh, reed beds and wet meadows.
