Citizen Science

We need data. High nutrient levels in the Wye and its tributaries are feeding algal blooms which are damaging the river. We desperately need far more regular testing at many more locations - which is where people power can make a real difference.

Art and outreach

LiftTheRiver is an arts initiative which hopes to explore the role of the river in the imagination. It is an invitation to help the Wye through creativity, exploration and collective action.

We want to improve the health of the river, both for the safety of the people who may swim in it and to protect the environment in and around the water.
