Consultancy
West Cumbria Rivers Consultancy is the Trust’s consultancy arm. Our experienced ecologists provide expert, independent advice for rivers within our patch, but will consider requests across the North West of England.
“We appreciate the professionalism, resourcefulness, scientific rigour, and passion for improving the environment that your team demonstrate.”
