This World Rivers Day, we celebrate the River Dart alongside our colleagues at Friends of The Dart, with a guest post written by Eliza Boyacigiller.

Eliza is the Water Technician for Friends of the Dart, leading the organisation’s citizen-funded water quality monitoring programme across the Dart catchment.

She works closely with local communities, researchers, and environmental organisations to tackle pollution, improve river health, and promote evidence-based stewardship of freshwater ecosystems.
