This is a dream job for an ecologist eager to investigate the loss of ranunculus on the Rivers Wye & Usk, and the conditions that best facilitate its recovery.
Come & work with us on a project to help restore this key species.
Where do citizen scientists come from?
Not from under rocks or the roots of river grasses. They’re trained.
Here’s an image from the Dulas Brook this morning. Friends of the River Wye are delighted to be extending our volunteer-led data collection into freshwater biological monitoring.
Environment Agency inaction is a huge scandal. On the Wye and many other rivers agricultural pollution is the most significant factor in worsening water quality. When will the EA enforce the law and protect our rivers?

This is very cool from the Friends of the River Wye. I hope the Riverside Code catches on in other parts of the country too!
