Adopt a Tributary

Project Applicants: West Wales River Trust

Anchor Programme: Sustainable Communities

Location: Carmarthenshire

The West Wales Rivers Trust project, through the involvement of volunteers across Carmarthenshire, has upskilled and provided people with the knowledge, confidence and enthusiasm to work together to ‘adopt’ their nearest stretch of river.

Funding supported an Adopt a Tributary Officer to deliver their project, and it is estimated that a minimum 2 tonnes of waste has been removed which has improved the health of Carmarthenshire’s rivers significantly.

Over 250 volunteers have helped improve nearly 200,000m of waterways.
