ABOUT THE
PROJECT
Understanding the river, and the needs that surround it
The Nyfer am Byth project engages as many people in the catchment area as possible in the future of the Afon Nyfer. With funding from the Coastal Capacities Scheme and the Esmee Fairbairn Foundation, and in partnership with the West Wales Rivers Trust, the Nyfer am Byth project engages with local communities to develop solutions and trigger action to meet the challenges facing our beautiful river valley.
Community Catchment Plan
Come along to local community sessions and/or fill in our survey about the Afon Nyfer. Voice your thoughts, feelings, experiences, concerns - we want to know what the Afon Nyfer means to you. What do you think are the issues facing the river, and what are some possible solutions?
Adopt a Tributary
Join our network of volunteers who help monitor and care for the Afon Nyfer. Working with the West Wales Rivers Trust, we hope to create local groups across all tributaries of the river, fostering a sense of stewardship and to be a voice for the river and its wildlife.
Free Farm Infrastructure Reports
If you are a farmer sign up for a free confidential farm infrastructure report run by Andrew Thomas of the West Wales Rivers Trust. You will receive a free report on small improvements you could make to reduce your farm's impact on the river - e.g. by reducing leaks from silage clamps into manure piles, or preventing nutrient-rich runoff from entering streams or yard drains.
What is a catchment?
In essence, the catchment encapsulates the natural beauty of the area.
The health of any waterbody is a direct result of the waters flowing into it, from rain falling and collected in its catchment.
Waters draining from the land, via groundwater and runoff, will carry all the sediment, nutrients, chemicals, litter, all the detritus of modern-day life and living, via rivers and estuaries to the sea, ultimately affecting the quality of thebathing waters and beaches at the river’s mouth.
