Radnorshire Wildlife Trust has launched a rivers appeal, asking for help to raise 50k to support their work in protecting rivers for future generations.

Radnorshire is home to the Lugg (Llugwy). Marteg and Ithon are all tributaries of the River Wye (Afon Gwy). Flowing from mid-Wales to the Severn estuary in England, it's one of the UK’s longest watercourses and is impacted by everything that happens in its large catchment.

But Radnorshire Wildlife Trust are worried about the future of the rivers, saying they are in trouble. Current reports on Wales's rivers show that less than half of them meet Good Ecological Status, with algal blooms causing devastation to river ecosystems.
