the public benef)l of the Sussex Ouse alld Alkn Rivers and their tributaries. iD¢ludiDg the flo￿ and tauDa of the rivers
and suyroundyng areas. ID addilion, the Tn￿t work5 for advancement of the educaiioo of the publi¢ in these nrdtters.
The Trust acbieves ils aitns throu￿ the sourcin¥ of fjjnding from a variety of source$.
Activltle5
Wbilst our local river4 and those across the county, continue to be under serious threat from a range of pressures, never
has their bealih been mor¢ ID the public eye and it is tantastic to see, ond be able to support, coD]munity and individual
actions makiDg 8 difference, it is, after all. tbe foundations on which OART has been built. We re￿ain proud of our role
in enhancing local rivers aDd wetlands and recoguize how these successes fjt into the wider rnovemenl of Rivers Trusts
acTQSS rbe County aDd the langible benefits which are creating a thriving lega¢y for wildlife and people.
Over the pasi 12-months we have seen the Trust grow to six members of staff with all ow project and management team
beino full lime contracts. We retnain committed to bnY)wing the TnLst slowly and in a manner which provides long
tenn securily for the positiODS wbich we offer.
From & project perspective we are dciighfed with the con￿letion of the Cocksbut Restoration Project which bas
realiglled 700m of 8 valuable cbalk streaa4 ¢reatin8 6ha of compl¢mentary wetland within the SSSI of Lewes Brook5.
The site bas been opened to the public with a circular walk and it will be fanl&stit to see the new habitats dpvelop over
the coming years. Alongside this the Adur Natural Flood Managernent project completed its third year of developjnent
and at the end of this fmancial year w¢ re￿Ived confinnation of a further 10-years of funding lo deliver the Action PIE
which be¢n dcveloped. Also at a laD(Lw scale wc have be¢n heavily involved in ih¢ Adur River Recovery prgject,
one of the original Defra Pilots for the new Landscape Recovery schernes.
Our StOTitig the Stornl Anitiative. supkx)rted by twes District Council, has grown beyond schools and public buildiDgs
into the heart of Communities. r¢ducing surface Nvater ruDoff and &ssociated flood risk whilst reduciDg pressure on the
seiver network. We fully expect this proj¢Gt to expand beyond Lewes Distrlct with the lallnch of our Utbon Wetlond
Network projoct Carly De￿ ye￿.
Funding from the Environment AgeDCy has enabled u5 to develop an ActlOD Plan for the restoration of th¢ Lewes
WinlerbourDe, ond slart the Ouse Inv&8ive s￿¢1¢s project in par(Ders￿P with a ran8¢ of organisalions and businesses.
Developi￿ our Programme of Citizen Srientt activities been a priority this year and having assessed our current
activitie$ we have develop¢d a strategic pathway of trainiDg and a55¢ssm¢DI to enable our volunte¢Js to monitor strategi¢
points OD ihe Rivers.
Unfortutmtety we bad to withdraw from our successfill Heritsge Lottery Fund project due to legal complexities over the
land, this was a real blow to OART, losing a si￿lFICant amount of our projected income for the year and forcing us to
re-think how we operate withio a mixnre of large and mail projecls. Howev¢r. whilst this proj¢¢t is no longer
continuing a number of key relationships were made in its developmeni and are sure lo lead to future OPPDrtiinities.
OART contillues to bost th¢ Adur & Ouse Catchment Partnersbip and during this 6naD¢ial year ha￿ be¢n ¢oordinating
parlllers to develop a Clitnate Resilienrx Plan foT the habitats wtilLin the cai¢htneoi this is a big pie£¢ of WOTk wbicb we
¢xp¢ct to be fwshed during the oext fioancial year.
The future looks brigbt for OART as we contillue to build our knowledge and resour¢es ID line with increasing filllding
