Our aims are simple, we want:
A clean and healthy river
An end to ALL pollution
The Wye to be restored to its former health and glory
Immediate government action to protect the river Wye
Save the Wye
Save The Wye is an informal group of citizens on both sides of the Welsh border who want to do something to help save the Wye and its tributaries from environmental destruction.
We support and are supported by a network of individuals and organisations working to protect and restore the health of the river Wye and its tributaries. This network includes Friends of the Upper Wye, Friends of the Lower Wye, Citizens of the River Dore, Save the Lugg, and CPRE Herefordshire.
We created the Save the Wye campaign to raise public awareness and to call for immediate action to stop the pollution and restore the river.
The pollution is primarily from the proliferation of IPUs in the Wye catchment. This is compounded by the lack of regulatory action being taken by agencies that are charged with the river’s protection.
We need people power to protect our rivers!
The State of the Wye
We are at a “crucial moment in the life or death of the Wye”
