CLEAN RIVERS
The CLEAN Afon Nyfer project (Catchment Level Environmental Action Network) has worked with local people to monitor water quality and invasive species, then come together to learn more and discuss the issues.
We have published our baseline data in 2 reports and are starting to understand which areas are most heavily impacted.
We have funding in place to extend the water quality monitoring into summer 2023 and to deliver a series of events offering everyone a chance to get involved and learn more.
The Afon Nyfer (River Nevern) is a river of refuge for wildlife; linking the open habitats of the Preselis and the temperate rainforest of North Pembrokeshire with a marine conservation area. It is a catchment which tragically follows the trend across Britain, of declining biodiversity due to pollution and disruption of natural processes. However, it is not as badly affected as many other rivers and offers an opportunity to demonstrate how to halt and reverse that trend, before it is too late!
If you are keen to know more about this project, or are interested about how you could be involved, contact Adam.
