Significant events

• “WRT recruited 7 staff with a wide range of skillsets. These staff were recruited to work on a number of new projects which are delivering interventions at a catchment and sub-catchment scale. The trust now has 16 staff, of which 15 are full-time employees and one is part-time. At the start of this financial year the trust moved into its new offices at Myerscough College.”
• “April 2024 saw the commencement of four large projects, each with a different focus. These include a catchment scale Invasive Non-Native Species (INNS) Project, the Brock and Calder Landscape Recovery Project (Development Phase), the Wyre Catchment Resilience Programme, and a restoration project focusing on the River Calder.”
• “Our Wyre INNS project saw the removal of around 5000m2 of Himalayan balsam from the catchment and the inoculation of ~3355 stems of Japanese knotweed in the upper Wyre catchment. During this year WRT was successful in obtaining approval for its ~£1m Wyre Catchment Resilience Programme.”
• “As part of the Calder Restoration programme the Trust embarked upon its first season of widescale electrofishing surveys, delivering quantitative fish surveys at 43 sites between July and October 2024.”
• “the groundbreaking Wyre Catchment NFM project ending at March 31st 2025. In total the project has delivered 77Ha of NFM interventions and ~32ha of woodland creation since 2022. Our original target for NFM interventions was 70Ha and so the project has outperformed by 10%.”
• “In addition to this, the Trust also received funding from United Utilities via their Green Recovery fund to deliver NFM measures in the Brock and Tributaries operational catchment, the project worked across 8 farms to deliver a wide suite of interventions.”
• “As a result of these programmes, in 2024/25 the Trust planted 54,530 trees, these were planted across 34 woodlands spanning 18.89 hectares and within 7.95km of new hedgerow.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
