River Esk and Coastal Streams Catchment Partnership
This cooperative approach is essential for pooling together expertise and resources, sharing ideas, data and projects on both the small and wide scale. This all helps to steer the direction of conservation projects, ultimately enhancing the health and ecology of the Esk catchment for the future.
The partnership is primarily funded by DEFRA, through the Environment Agencies water environment improvement fund (WEIF) and facilitated through the Catchment Based Approach.
The Esk and Coastal Streams Catchment Partnership is an integrated partnership joint hosted by The North York Moors National Park Trust and the North York Moors National Park.
The partnership is made up of 11 partners from all across the river Esk catchment and beyond; these consist of non-governmental organisations, relevant government agencies, relevant local authorities, internal drainage boards and other interested bodies.
