An update on The Delivering Innovative Markets for the Environment (DIME) Project, led by the Wye and Usk Foundation (WUF) in partnership with Nature Finance and the Rivers Trust.
Our staff have once again been out along the Wye and Usk with the aim to eradicate Japanese Knotweed as part of the Giving Up The Weed Project. It is highly invasive and threatens the health of our rivers by smothering the native flora on the rivers’ banks.
The Wye and Usk Foundation joins the RSPB, National Trust, and The Rivers Trust in expressing its dismay and anger that the English government appears to be abandoning its promises for nature and climate.
With the lives of salmon at risk due to water temperatures becoming fatally high, the Wye and Usk Foundation has cooperated with regulatory bodies to cool the river.
