The Environment Agency together with United Utilities, Rivers Trust, Greater Manchester Combined Authority and Natural England are delivering Natural Course, an EU funded Life Integrated Project within the North West River Basin District.
This 10 year programme seeks to overcome barriers to strategic delivery of the Water Framework Directive and identify efficiencies for multi partner delivery. At its heart is the desire to build capacity across and beyond the partner organisations to achieve more for the environment than each can deliver independently.
By working together and differently we will create real cultural, social, economic and environmental benefits across the North West
