About the project

Nyfer am Byth was born out of a desire to protect, restore, and celebrate the River Nevern (Afon Nyfer) and its surrounding landscape for current and future generations. Building on the foundations of the previous CLEAN water quality sampling project, Nyfer am Byth continues the mission with a renewed focus on community engagement and sustainable catchment management.

From CLEAN to Nyfer am Byth: Building a Sustainable Future
The CLEAN project highlighted the challenges facing the Afon Nyfer and its surrounding habitats, as well as the importance of the river for both wildlife and local livelihoods. CLEAN worked to improve water quality, reduce pollution, and engage communities in conservation activities. Through CLEAN, we learned that to create lasting change, we need to go further than ecological interventions; we need to work directly with the people who live and work in the catchment area.
Nyfer am Byth builds on these lessons, recognizing that effective and sustainable management of the river requires active collaboration between all members of the community. This project seeks to empower the people of Nyfer to shape the future of the catchment and contribute their unique knowledge and skills to protecting this vital resource.
