We're offering two paid, full-time traineeships through the Sherbourne Valley Project, giving individuals hands-on experience, a recognised qualification, and the chance to work on practical environmental and heritage projects across Coventry.

Celebrate Coventry’s hidden river at this year’s River Festival, taking place at FarGo Village on Saturday 20th and Sunday 21st September, from 11am to 4pm each day. River Festival Coventry is a weekend of creativity, community and connection to nature, suitable for all ages and interests. Let’s come together to celebrate the river that flows beneath our feet through Coventry.

A summary of some of the project's activities throughout April and May

A selection of community events and conservation activities from March, showcasing the diverse ways the Sherbourne Valley Project engaged with volunteers and local groups. From tree planting and litter picking to educational talks and creative photography sessions, these events reflect our ongoing commitment to nature restoration and community involvement.

In March 2025, we will be carrying out restoration works in Charterhouse Heritage Park with approved contractors. The project aims to re-naturalise the River Sherbourne which flows through Coventry, improving it for nature and for local communities. There will be several elements to this particular restoration project, all of which will have a positive effect on the river and surrounding area in both short-term and long-term scenarios.

Through interactive activities, wildlife exhibits, and discussions, the project engaged with young communities and promoted nature conservation and sustainability.
