Do you know someone who goes above and beyond to project the River Tweed? Maybe an angler, farmer, landowner or community volunteer working to protect the rich natural, cultural or built heritage of the river and its catchment?
We’re now accepting nominations for the 10th Tweed Forum River Champion Award – which is open to people living or working in the Scottish Borders or North Northumberland. Our previous winners (see gallery below!) have been recognised for contributions in areas including riverfly monitoring, community woodland restoration, built heritage preservation, tackling invasive non-native plant species, pollution campaigning and conserving nature in a farm setting.
If you know of anyone you think should be nominated for this year’s Award, please get in touch by Friday 12 September, you can find out how on our River Champion page.
The Tweed catchment contains significant tributaries including the Teviot, Ettrick, Gala and Leader Waters, the Whiteadder and the River Till plus many smaller watercourses.
