SAVE THE WYE COALITION
Save the Wye is an informal coalition of local groups and concerned individuals from both sides of the Welsh border, united by a shared determination to protect the River Wye and its tributaries from ongoing ecological decline.
Our aims
A Water Protection Zone for the Wye Catchment
An end to ALL pollution
The river fully restored to ecological health – a thriving home for wildlife, and protected for future generations
