Welcome to the River Foss Society

[𝑹𝒊𝒗𝒆𝒓 𝑭𝒐𝒔𝒔 𝑺𝒐𝒄𝒊𝒆𝒕𝒚 @riverfossYork]

Why not join and enjoy the River Foss?
Come for a daytime or evening walk. Help with litter picks, weed management and other activities. ‘Adopt’ and monitor a short stretch of the Foss. As a member, you will enjoy the many varied activities we run. #york #riverfoss
