Welcome to the Freshwater Conservation Club! 

We're so lucky to study between Eryri and Ynys Mon, giving us access to a huge variety of freshwater environments. 

Our aim is to empower students to actively contribute to environmental preservation, acquire valuable skills for their futures and discover a passion for freshwater conservation. 

There are a huge number of threats to our freshwater environments in the UK and growing public concern. Recognising the job opportunities available in the field, we hope to help our freshwater environments through volunteering whilst also enhancing students' knowledge and skills to gain employment in future. 

Freshwater environments are not only vital habitats in themselves but also play a crucial role in influencing marine ecosystems, as everything from our rivers eventually finds its way to the sea. As a project, we hope to organise various events, including river and lake clean ups, as well as activities that allow us to appreciate the beauty of these freshwater ecosystems such as wild swimming. 

Working alongside North Wales Rivers Trust, you'll have the chance to develop your knowledge of freshwater conservation, gain valuable experience outside the classroom and meet other students who share an interest in wildlife, nature and the environment.

By volunteering with us, you can:

- Gain hands-on conservation and fieldwork experience.
- Develop practical skills relevant to environmental and conservation careers.
- Learn from and make connections within the conservation community.
- Build experience for your CV and future opportunities.
- Explore some of North Wales' freshwater environments.
- Meet like-minded students and become part of a friendly volunteer community.
- Make a real contribution to protecting local rivers, habitats and wildlife.

If you're interested in the aquatic world at all, then this project is for you!
