A week-long programme of workshops, lectures and practical fieldwork training engaged students in the protection of free-flowing and thriving rivers and coastal ecosystems. The SRC base was located along the banks of the winding
River Dart at Schumacher College in Dartington, Devon, where participants returned to each day after learning from local river and coastal communities, researchers, artists and experts, inspiring creative collaborations between participants and students of the MA Movement, Mind and Ecology programme at Schumacher College.
At the heart of the Students for Rivers Camp on the Dart was the desire to facilitate captivating field trips and
hands-on experiences that transformed our students into river stewards. With support from Dartmoor National Park,
the Field Studies Council and Dynamic Adventures, students were introduced to the diverse array of habitat
types found along the Dart’s waters. We explored the restorative measures of the Dartmoor Headwaters natural
flood management project and supported students in practicing their river bioblitz skills ahead of the global
Home River Bioblitz event.
