⭐ Tonight we're delighted to announce the first of our brand new River Ambassadors; Professor Alice Roberts! ⭐ “I love wild swimming but I’m doing it less and less - the risk of getting ill is simply too high. And that pollution is bad news for wildlife too. Rivers are such an important part of the natural environment, and we clearly need to do more to reduce the negative impact we’re having on so many other species. That’s why I support The Rivers Trust - who do great work cleaning rivers, restoring wetlands and planting trees on riverbanks, as well as collecting important data on water quality and wildlife, and raising awareness of the need for healthy, natural rivers. Our rivers need us!" - Alice @prof_alice_roberts has long been passionate about improving the health of our rivers, and we're excited to work with her to raise awareness of the issues that our polluted blue spaces face and to strive for their restoration and protection. Want to hear more from Alice? Tune in to The Today Programme tomorrow morning on @bbcradio4 where she'll be speaking about #BigRiverWatch - our citizen science project that launches this weekend. Welcome to the team, Alice! 💙 📷 Craig Hastings #theriverstrust #rivers #riverhealth #pollution #riverpollution #aliceroberts #nature
