For Love of Water (FLOW) CIC

For Love or Water (FLOW) CIC is a not-for-profit Community Interest Company dedicated to improving the health of the River Avon Special Area of Conservation (SAC). We are a community hub where individuals and organisations with a shared passion for the River Avon can make a difference. We founded FLOW CIC in 2022 to support land managers, charities and businesses with river restoration, watercourse biodiversity net gain, fisheries and monitoring. We reinvest 100% of profits into our own projects to protect and enhance the Hampshire Avon, which ranges from citizen science to river restoration design. Our employees take a market-rate salary, but the river is our only shareholder. Do you need help with any of these? 🏞 River restoration scoping through to full CDM-compliant detailed design. 🐟 Freshwater fisheries and survey 🌿 Biodiversity Net Gain for rivers/streams and their floodplains, including River Condition Assessment, Feasibility, Detailed Design, and HMMP. 🦫 Beaver mitigation CL51 licenced 🦞 Crayfish survey (White-clawed and non-native).
