The Styx Living Laboratory Trust (SLLT), is a local river care group, which was established in
2000 to achieve Vision 3 (Develop a "living laboratory" that focuses on both learning and
research) of the CCC`s, `Styx Vision 2000 – 2040.’ The Trust has since encompassed a role of
guardianship and advocacy for the waterway and the biodiversity of the surrounding land as a
living part of the Canterbury landscape.
We, the trustees and volunteers, are advocates for maintaining water quality and other values
(including drainage, ecology, landscape, culture, recreation, and heritage values) in the river. We
care deeply about our water and want it to remain clean, healthy, biodiverse and available for
future generations to use and enjoy.
