We’re delighted to launch our crowdfunding campaign for the Riverside Journal, a premium 82-page publication created by our own festival team. As individuals who work daily on the river, our aim was to capture the essence of our community while raising essential funds for the TweedStart education program.

Your donation serves as a direct investment in the future of the Tweed by supporting conservation through education.
•
To help ensure a lasting legacy for our river, 100% of all funds raised will be used to mentor and develop future anglers. We believe that by teaching the next generation to respect and cherish the Tweed, we can better protect its delicate ecosystem and fragile Atlantic salmon numbers. Your generosity helps provide the resources needed to keep our river thriving for decades to come.

Sponsored by LOOP Tackle Design, the Journal itself offers an intimate look at the Atlantic salmon on the river, featuring stunning photography and articles that highlight the people who make our community so special. We invite you to explore our cultural heritage and join us in our goal to help safeguard the future of Atlantic salmon on one of the world’s great salmon rivers.
