We’re planning a major public event soon to present ‘solutions’ to clean up the Wye. Healthy soils will be key. Who are the most inspiring speakers to explain the importance of good soil? Recommendations welcome.

@LucyFaulkes Volunteers are testing for a range of water quality parameters that can help indicate the health of a river, including phosphate, nitrate, electrical conductivity, temperature and turbidity. The purpose is to build a better understanding of what and where the issues are.

Yesterday was the final (and biggest) Wye catchment mass sampling event of the year... Water quality was assessed at over 170 sites across the catchment and 30 samples were collected for lab analysis, all by local citizen scientists. Amazing effort from everyone involved!
