Formation of the Ouse & Adur Rivers Trust - OART
The Sussex Ouse Conservation Society has now joined forces with the River Adur Conservation Society to form the Ouse & Adur Rivers Trust (OART). This amalgamation gives OART the opportunity to deliver greater environmental improvement across both adjacent catchments.

OART has just launched a new website - www.oart.org.uk


Please note this website will no longer be updated. Content is gradually being transferred to the new website and every attempt is being made to provide links from this site to it.

We hope you find the new website interesting and useful, please bear with us as we add new features.

Enjoy a Riverside Walk – We have produced some guides detailing the routes of some of our favourite riverside walks to provide readers with information to explore the river. Each of the walks we publish takes in as much river bank as is possible using public footpaths and provides interesting facts about historic features and wildlife along the way. New walks will be added as and when we research them - Go for one of our walks..
