The Luton Lea Catchment Partnership is a group of individuals and organisations united to improve the River Lea.
From its sources in Houghton Regis, Lewsey, and Leagrave through Luton to Luton Hoo lakes, the partnership works with local people to improve and conserve the river's health.
We are continually working to identify the problems facing the River Lea and taking action to tackle them.

LoveLEA: explore it, use it, protect it.
The Luton Lea Catchment Partnership runs a wide range of projects for local communities around the River Lea.
