Engagement Platform

River Dôn Project Engagement Platform

We want to hear about your experiences and adventures across the landscapes of the River Dôn. Its’ 700 sq mile catchment and major tributaries - the Loxley, Rivelin, Sheaf, Porter, Rother, Dearne, as well as the smaller rivers, becks, brooks, canals and streams that flow into it.

We invite you to share your pictures, stories, observations, poems and memories, so that more people can see the often intimate and entangled relationships that communities and citizens share with our rivers, lakes, flora, fauna and with nature.

You can jump straight in and start exploring or keep scrolling to see our user guide to uploading and understanding more below.
