Avara/Cargill are well able to pay to clean up the mess they’ve made of the Wye. It’s time that the government and regulators took serious action to control an agricultural system that is killing the Wye before our eyes.

Good to see farmers making the kind of changes that environmentalists have been calling for to restore the Wye, such as reducing soil erosion - a win-win for the Wye and the farmers themselves.

Please help if you can!

We call on Herefordshire and Powys County Council to follow today’s High Court judgement.
It is time to #SaveTheWye by rolling back the irresponsible & harmful mistakes made in failing to take account of ‘cumulative impact’ of industrial chicken farms on River Wye.

Water Ceremony was held today with prominent nature lawyers at the River Wye in Hay. It was to both celebrate and find inspiration in the Wye, and to discuss the next chapter of Rights for Rivers, in response to the multiple ecological crises 🧵

We are pleased to see Jesse Norman MP call for a new law and incorporate ideas from the People’s Plan for the Wye in his speech.
We are also delighted that @elliechowns.bsky.social is sponsoring the bill and call on all Wye catchment MPs to support it.

The Wye is a special case, not least as it is so well known & loved. In May 2023 Natural England downgraded status of the Wye to ‘Unfavourable: Declining’.
We call on UK & Welsh Governments to work together to #SavetheWye - Our People’s Plan shows how: wyemanifesto.org

Vey will talk about her journey as a water activist, and how she has found herself lifted and carried on a journey, embodying the River, first as an activist ‘character’ known as ‘Lady Wye’, and now in a ceremonial role.

The Manifesto for the Wye states our position on the pollution crisis across the Wye catchment. We call on the government to support nature friendly farming methods. We cannot tackle climate change or biodiversity loss without this.

Save the Wye says, "Well done Herefordshire Council for trying to tackle this thorny issue - we URGENTLY need to reduce the pollution from intensive livestock".
Even the NFU acknowledges that 70% of the pollution comes from agriculture.
Does NFU actually WANT a dirty river?

This @theguardian.com graphic hammers home the staggering new figures.

“More than 51 million chickens industrially farmed in river valleys of the Severn and Wye - the equivalent of 79 chickens for every person in region, according to new figures.”

CRY FOR THE WYE
Why do we campaign? For many water campaigners, the main concern is the profiteering water companies that discharge vast volumes of sewage into our rivers and seas. For #SavetheWye our target is agricultural pollution. Thread.
