WE ARE NOW RAISING MONEY EQUALLY FOR TWO CAUSES
	South Cumbria Rivers Trust	AND			Langdale & Ambleside Mountain Rescue Team
SCRT					LAMRT
South Cumbria Rivers Trust - "is a registered charity (no. 1114682) whose purpose is to protect, conserve and rehabilitate the aquatic environments of South Cumbria..."
This includes our very own River Rothay which flows directly past Bridge House Hotel and into Grasmere Lake.
We know from local evidence that the River Rothay used to support many more trout and salmon than it does now. The health of the river has deteriorated down the years from neglect, carelessness and changes in rural practise. We would like to help reverse this trend and conserve the health of these waterways for future generations. Recent improvements have meant the return of kingfishers and even otters to the area, but much work needs to be done to continue this progress.
Bridge House Hotel is currently helping to fund the ‘Experience the River' programme which is designed to promote awareness of the aquatic ecosystems amongst local school children. The programme includes "Experience the River" days, when children have a chance to visit their local rivers and study the river life that they find there, learning to respect and look after this fragile aquatic environment. This waterways project has been supported by Bridge House Hotel from 2009 onwards.
