Emily Hobson-Martin

Emily is the Ranger for the National Lottery supported Rivers Run Through Us project. This project encompasses the whole of the River Axe catchment, including the Lower Coley, Upper Coly, Offwell Brook, Umborne Brook, Corry Brook, River Yarty, Kit Brook, Forton Brook, Blackwater River and the Upper & Lower Axe.

Rivers Run Through Us is a collaborative approach to recapturing the natural heritage of the Axe, its tributaries and valleys, through better connections – between people and heritage, farmers and consumers, rural and townsfolk, soil and water. The project focuses on three themes: River, Soil and People, underlining that catchments are defined by water and soils, like the farming that harvests from them, and the people who depend on their produce.
