Help us to preserve one of our loveliest rivers
an essential part of our national heritage
Welcome to our web page! We are a small group of people
whose concern is with the River Wye and its tributaries, from its source
at Plynlimon in the Welsh hills to its mouth in the Severn Estuary at
Chepstow. Read more about us here.

Heads up for our annual River Walk! It will be held on Wednesday 28th June 2017, at Whitney Court. More information will be
posted once the details have been finalised. More details can be found here.

AGM 2016
Congratulations to
Major
Patrick Darling, who was unanimously elected Chairman of the
Trust at its Annual General Meeting
on Thursday 17th November. Congratulations too, to
Mr Malcolm Speight, who was elected Treasurer. A formal
presentation was made to Mr Simon Dereham in thanks for his sterling
service to the Trust as Chairman over 27 years, and thanks were also
expressed to Mr Graham Hunter Blair for service almost as long, as
Treasurer
After the formal business of the AGM we enjoyed a fascinating presentation by Richard
R Rees on “The London Dams that never came to Wales”. This proposal, in 1894, would have seen over 400 million gallons per day taken from the Wye and Usk and their headwaters and transferred to London by way of the Thames! The estimated cost at that time was £38 million with proposals to divert 43 streams into Llangorse Lake, raising the water level of the lake by 98
feet. Many Welsh valleys would have been drowned by water which, it was
proposed, would make its way to London entirely by gravity - and there would
also have been 'compensating' reservoirs to make up for the depleted
river waters at home.
Following the presentation the members enjoyed socialising over light refreshments.


----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Another
successful Trust River Walk was held at The Leen, Pembridge on Tuesday, 6th September 2016, by kind permission of Tony Norman and family.
Here are
some pictures of the event:

No gutters on the barns to enable to rainwater to return to the ground
unmixed with various polluting liquids about the place. Is this a new
idea?
Well, here is a less recent barn just outside Bosbury, apparently
constructed on similar principles...

Off to supper, passing the chicken-produced AD input,
and reminded that all this is part of attempts to reduce the black and

Many thanks to Tony, and to Kate (of the WUF),
and a very pleasant picnic to round off the evening.

2015 AGM
A very successful AGM was held at The Bunch of Carrots, Hampton Bishop,
on Thursday 26th November
After the formal AGM business, Tony Norman
gave a fascinating, if rather sobering, illustrated presentation on the project he has been
leading for more than three years. This has involved many teams of dedicated volunteers who have cleared more than 111 tonnes of accumulated rubbish from over a thousand miles of river bank. This project, which was part of the activities of the
Wye and Usk
Foundation, has received financial contributions from the Trust over recent years.
All the same, and despite our best efforts, there are already millions
of tonnes of plastic floating in every ocean on the planet, and
decomposing into the food of every creature that we ultimately eat. Here
are a few pictures:

2015 River Walk
Another very successful annual River Walk was held on Tuesday 7th July at Kentchurch Estate.
After a tour of the house there was a choice of walks: up into the Deer
Park with David Lovelace, or a walk along the River Monnow with Peter Gough of the
Environment Agency.
Both parties enjoyed their excursions very much, and we all met up again
in the grounds of Kentchurch Court to share our delicious picnics. A
very successful and enjoyable evening all round! Here are a few pictures
of the tour along the Monnow.

Better management of the river flow, the removal of the weir, and the
virtual elimination of pests such as mink and Himalayan Balsam have
enabled the flourishing return of native flora and fauna, including
water voles and invertebrates, and even the recolonisation of the river
by many species of fish, including sea trout and salmon

Eleven years of Litter Pick has been completed!
On Monday 27th April
2015, the final litter pick took place at Beachley Point, Chepstow.
Volunteers from the Marine
Conservation Society (MCS) and Wye
and Usk Foundation removed a final 34 bags from the area where the
Wye enters the Severn Estuary. Afterwards, representatives from the
RWPT, Angling Trust/Fish
Legal (AT/FL), Keep
Wales Tidy and Wye
Valley Area of Outstanding Beauty joined the party for a ceremony to
"hand over" the river. From now on, the Marine Conservation
Society and Angling Trust/Fish Legal will continue the litter pick in
the estuary and beyond.
This completes an
11-year project in which more than a thousand volunteers have removed
111 tonnes of rubbish from over a thousand miles of river bank. In
addition to the unsightly litter removed from the river, it's hoped that
the project will encourage people not to discard litter and to clear up
any that they find. The project has also been useful to highlight the
unseen pollutants entering our rivers.
Many, many thanks to Tony
Norman, the WUF Trustee who has put so much of his free time into
organising the clearances for the past 5 years and to the huge number of
organisations and individuals who have helped and supported the project
since 2004.

RWPT AGM
2014
A
very successful AGM of the Trust was held on Thursday 20th
November 2014 at the Bunch of Carrots, Hampton Bishop. Following the
business meeting there was a presentation to Simon Dereham in grateful
recognition of his 25 years' service as Chairman. Lastly, we enjoyed a presentation on Going Native
and Water Voles on the Wye by Robert Denny
of the Monnow Rivers Association, and there was much friendly discussion
during the excellent refreshments afterwards.
Here are a few pictures of the event:

Why bother?
http://www.wyeuskfoundation.org/projects/Why_clean_up_litter.pdf
From Tony Norman:
All
There is still some red on the map but:
We have managed 100 miles of cleaned up river by the end of our 2014
campaign!! and this in spite of missing a month at the start with
flooding.
In fact, we may have done more, because I still get reports of little
groups or individuals having cleared more riverbank.
We do not always get all the details, but of the stats that we have been
able to record:
200+ miles of riverbank have been cleared by:
·181 volunteers, spending
·over 850 hours picking up
· 620 sacks/large items of rubbish
Over 60% of it came off farms (Silage wrap, string, feed buckets, feed
and fertiliser bags etc)
http://www.wyeuskfoundation.org/projects/litter-2014.php
A very special thank you to all those that have often
driven many miles in all weathers to help out.
Thank you also for the support given, in many different ways, to this
project by so many people.
This is the 10th year of the project and the 4th that we have aimed at
clearing a hundred miles each year.
It has seen over 800 volunteers clear well over 3000 sacks of rubbish
from our rivers.
2015 will see us do the final 100 miles of the Wye:
A few lengths we have missed this year, the Trothy, the Garren and the
main Wye from Mordiford down to Chepstow.
Once more we shall need a lot of help - especially in canoes!
All the best
Tony
Wye and Usk
Foundation
On
Tuesday 29th April the Hereford Trow was successfully launched
near the Victoria Bridge in Hereford, by the Friends of
The Hereford Bull. Below are some pictures taken at the
launch:




Well over 100 volunteers (at different times) have been all the way
down the right bank of the Wye from Glasbury to Holme Lacy bridge.
They have cleaned the river from canoes for well over half that length
and completed most of the length on the left bank.
There are still a couple of syndicates to report back in but now the
undergrowth is beginning to get rampant-
-with nettles getting well over ankle height it is difficult to see the
rubbish and uncomfortable picking it up!
So we have left the Wye for the time being (unless there are any more
canoeists who could help us)
and concentrate our efforts on the Monnow, where things run a little
later.
Some groups have volunteered to do their own lengths and have still to
report in.
These are the dates that will take us up to the end of the 2014 Wye
litter campaign.
Tues, April 15th-Bridge Inn Michaelchurch Escley.
Sat April 19th-Crown Inn, Longtown
Tues. April 22nd-Crown Inn, Longtown
Wed April 23rd- WUF office, Talgarth- (2pm)
Sat April 26th- Tregate Bridge on the Monnow to support Angling Club
(10.30 am)
Tues April 29th- Neville Arms- Abbeydore
Wed April 30th- Park Hotel, Pandy to support a large group of
volunteers.
Unless shown otherwise all meetings will be at 10am. Wear suitable clothing (wellies) and bring food and drink
Please let me know if you are
planning to come along.
If you can't come, pick up the litter wherever you are and tell us about
it.

LATEST NEWS (from Tony Norman)
Preparations have been going on and we have
full cooperation of Powys, Monmouthshire and Herefordshire County
Councils. Staff from Keep Wales Tidy have agreed to support us where
they can and the River Wye Preservation Trust have very generously
supported us, again.
The staff at the WUF office thankfully field much of
the organisation, web/blog management and publicity. The Monnow Rivers
Association have given us full backing and will be organising much of
the work on the Monnow.
I have already had 4 groups that have agreed to turn
out from their offices to lend a hand. I have enthusiasm from 1 town so
far to clear their own area. Some fishery owners/clubs have agreed to
clear their own lengths and a canoe company has agreed to lend a hand.
Other organisations and many individuals have offered to help as well.
So we should be able to make a start!
I still need beat
owners/tenants/clubs/syndicates/groups/individuals to offer to clear
their own stretches - anywhere on the Wye.
For the 'bank walkers' we will publish dates as we go
along..
For those that would be interested to go out on the
Monnow catchment please contact Rob
Denny at

Litter
Pick:
2014 Wye Litter the next 100 miles
Tony Norman writes:
This will be the 4th year of this part of the project.
Between early February (after the winter floods!!) and the end of April
(when birds are nesting) we shall tackle the next 100 miles of river and
stream.
We shall attempt to remove all the rubbish to add to the 100 tons or so
that we have taken out of the rivers so far.
- This year we shall do Llangorse lake and the Lynfi system (missed last
year)
- The main stem of the Wye from Hay down to Mordiford and
- The Monnow system
So I am looking for volunteers again to help me do it. I can organise
the days out, provide the litter picking kit, the bags to put it in, and
dispose of it.
The best help I can have is for a group (such as a fishing syndicate or
an owner) to just clear their own stretch and report the stats to me.
The next best is to come along on an organised day out (usually twice a
week) to help out, and preferably bring someone with you.
The next best is to persuade someone else to come along.
If nothing else, pick up the rubbish wherever you are.
Dates, times and venues (and a blog and map) will be on the WUF website:
http://www.wyeuskfoundation.org/projects/litterclearups.php
(still to be updated)
First dates Tues Feb 4th
Sat. Feb 8th
Time 10 am Venue Boat Inn Whitney on Wye (wear wellies,
bring packed lunch)
Please email Tony if you feel
you can help.

RWPT AGM 2013
The Trust's
2013 AGM was held on Thursday evening 21st November, at the Bunch of Carrots, Hampton
Bishop, chaired by our
Vice President, Sir Colin Shepherd. After the formal business we
enjoyed an illustrated talk by Heather Hurley on "River
Trade and Transport on the Wye from Symonds Yat to Glasbury",
featuring the barges used, the cargoes carried and the wharf sites. Heather is the author of Herefordshire’s River Trade: Craft
and Cargo on the Wye & Lugg, (Logaston Press, 2013), and editor
of the Trust's own Landscape Origins of the
Wye
Valley
, (Logaston Press, 2008).
Light refreshments
and pleasant socialising followed the presentation, to complete a very
pleasant evening.

Water Voles on the Wye
The Monnow Rivers Association together with the Wye Valley Area of Outstanding Beauty (AONB) has cause to celebrate the fact that it has received a funding boost to implement its
Water Voles on the
Wye project. See here

River
Walk 2013 Symonds Yat
A very enjoyable walk was held at Symonds Yat, led by Nic Howes, a geographer who walks through landscapes and interprets what is encountered. We covered both sides of the river, looking at the remains of the station and platform of the old Wye Valley Railway at Symonds Yat East before crossing on the hand ferry to Symonds Yat West. We saw the excavations of the New Weir Forge that have recently been carried out as part of the Overlooking the Wye Project, completed at the beginning of this year. We finished with a very enjoyable picnic, cruising up the river, with an excellent commentary provided by Kingfisher Cruises.
Here are a few pictures. More will follow!

A tremendous effort by all concerned.
That makes well over 600 volunteers clearing over 700 miles of river
bank so far in the project (2004-13)
Another 2 years should do it!

RWPT AGM 2012
The
2012 AGM of the Trust took place at the Bunch of Carrots, Hampton
Bishop, at 7.30 p.m. on
Thursday 29th November.
After the formal business of the AGM
had been concluded there was an excellent presentation by Dr Louise Manning on Water
from the Wye - Uses and Abuses.
Dr Louise Manning, the wife of a Herefordshire farmer, is
currently Lecturer in the Management of Food Production at the Royal
Agricultural College, Cirencester.
She specialises in all aspects of
sustainable food production and is well informed on current water
management issues that affect agriculture and horticulture including the
changes that will be required under the Water Framework Directive. She
has clear views on the proposed centralisation of Navigation Authorities
and the likely changes that will result from the formation, in Wales, of
the new body that will combine the current responsibilities exercised by
the Environment Agency, the Forestry Commission and CCW.
Water extraction, irrigation, diffuse
and direct pollution and Catchment Sensitive Farming Initiatives are all
issues on which she has strong views.

Advance notice on the Big Wye Litter Pick 2013
It is proposed that this will take place Feb 1st to April 31st,
as last year, with the support again of Keep Wales Tidy and
WUF, as
well as the RWPT. The pick would involve the Ithon, Irfon, Edw etc. and the main stem of the Wye down to Hay, thus completing the Welsh end of the river. This will be the 3rd hundred mile pickup and is now involving many, many volunteers across a whole range of river users and interests.
Here is the press
release after last year's successful pick, and, in case you're not
convinced, here are the reasons
why.
A little bit of Sci-fi fun:
Filmed in the 1980s near Hole-in-the-Wall on the banks
of the Wye near Ross. Just in the first 5 minutes, mind: after that our heroes seem to stroll seamlessly from the banks of our very own Wye into a village near Interlaken in Switzerland. Never mind that the whole thing is dubbed into German -
no one really needs the script! Click here

THE
BIG UPPER WYE CLEAR UP COMPLETED!
The twelve-week initiative to clear litter from the upper river Wye has been successfully completed.
From the start of February, groups of volunteers
organised by the Wye & Usk Foundation (WUF) with support from
Keep Wales Tidy (KWT) and the River Wye Preservation Trust (RWPT),
have been removing litter from the river’s source at Plynlimon downstream to Builth Wells and beyond, including the tributary streams. In addition to the practical benefits of removing the litter, The Big Upper Wye Litter Clear Up also draws attention to the amount of rubbish and other pollutants being allowed to enter the highly protected river Wye.
116 volunteers were involved in the project, and 596 sacks of litter and larger items were removed from 103 miles of river and stream.
Big items: a car radiator, a lawnmower and a deep freeze.
Worryingly: several drums containing agricultural and mechanical chemicals that damage the aquatic environment.
Over 60% of the litter is believed to be of agricultural origin.
Last year in a similar exercise on the rivers Lugg and Arrow 220 volunteers cleared 767 sacks of rubbish from another 100 miles of river and stream, 61% of which was agricultural.
See the full press release here.
Congratulations to Tony Norman, who initiated and ran the campaign!

2010
AGM
The Trust's AGM 2010 was held on Thursday 25
November, and we enjoyed a fascinating talk by
David Lovelace on The role of rivers in the development of farming and woodland management in
Herefordshire.
In Spring 2010, we completed the
Native Woodland Restoration in Herefordshire
project. Click here
for the Project Summary Report.
David has recently published an article on the project in
the Herefordshire Nature Trust Magazine. You can read it
here.
A
very successful and enjoyable annual Trust walk was held at Caradoc, Nr
Ross-on-Wye on Thursday 15th July 2010 by kind permission of Major Patrick Darling.
More details here.
One
of our major concerns is erosion and pollution
of the river Wye, and the state of its banks. These must be reported by
phone directly to the Environment
Agency on 0800 80 70 60, (24 hour service) giving location and grid
reference if possible.
These attractive maps of the Upper and Lower Wye would
are still available:


They can be
obtained (unframed) from The River Wye Preservation Trust, 35
Link Road, Hereford, HR1 1BG,
at £20 in colour as seen, or £10 in black and white. Email
info@rwpt.net
for more information
One of our recent concerns has been the Severn
Barrage. We were worried not only by its possible ecological
consequences, but also by whether it would even be capable of
delivering what was promised for it, and we were pleased when the Government
announced that they had
dropped
plans for it.
Last Autumn we published our book, Landscape Origins of the
Wye Valley. For more details, including how to order, click here:

But
hurry! There are no hard backs left, and only a very few hundred soft backs!

launch.
