An exciting international collaboration in conservation, now running in the Thames catchment
The Salmon School brings to life the interconnectedness of our relationship with rivers. This international project is now live in the Thames catchment. The Salmon School is a rich hands on educational programme, blending natural history, geography, art and science to engage and connect students with their local rivers and raise awareness and knowledge of the iconic Atlantic salmon; a fish which is now classified as Endangered.
The Salmon School is the brainchild of international environmental artist Joseph Rossano. Thames Rivers Trust is thrilled to be the lead partner of The Thames Salmon School collaboration, working with The Salmon School and 6 Rivers Trusts – Action for the River Kennet, South East Rivers Trust, Thames 21, River Thame Conservation Trust, Cotswolds Rivers Trust and The Rivers Trust to run the project for 5 primary schools between September 2024 – February 2025.
The Salmon School in the Thames catchment has worked with 5 schools:
-
John Rankin Primary on the Kennet
-
Standlake Primary on the Windrush
-
Stocklake Park on the Thame
-
Riverview Primary on the Hogsmill
-
St Margaret Clitherow Primary on the Brent
