Frome River Action Group - Dorset Christian Fellowship
https://dorcf.org/frome-river-action-group
The Frome River Action Group is engaged in a project in cooperation with Dorset Wildlife Trust and the AONB to try to eliminate the invasive weed ‘Himalayan Balsam’ (HB) from the Upper Frome Catchment area. Started in July 2018 carrying out extensive surveys along the Frome and its tributaries. In 2019 and 2020 we did more work at the ponds removing HB near the source of the Frome. We aim to have the Upper Frome Catchment area designated as a Himalayan Balsam Free Area (HBFA).

Wessex Rivers Trust
https://www.wessexrt.org.uk/
Wessex Rivers Trust is an environmental charity dedicated to the conservation of chalk streams and rivers in Wessex, working towards healthy rivers for wildlife and people. We look at ways to improve local rivers for wildlife and work within catchment partnerships to help achieve their aims. Educating the public about the importance of our rivers increases their value to people, and ultimately builds support for the future of these fragile environments. Wessex Rivers Trust forms part of the UK’s Rivers Trust movement that has been at the forefront of influencing policy and delivering catchment-wide environmental initiatives for over 20 years. This membership places us in an excellent position to shape and deliver action for these globally important and threatened habitats. Wessex Rivers Trust works across five main catchment areas, with an office in Salisbury.
