RIVER WYE WEED LOSS - 2017 to 2021

This short film clearly displays the loss of Water Crowfoot in the river Wye. When filming back in 2017, we never imagined what it would look like just a few years later. We're not here to suggest causes or solutions, we just tell the story.

Very sad. I can’t believe in the 21st century anyone is allowed to abuse such a delicate and important environment to this extent.

Maan, it's tragic. The Wye is losing a lot of its 'water crowfoot.' It's the bedrock of life in the river. The insects and larvae need it and they feed the birds and fish. If you want to know why it's happening go on over to 'save the wye' campaign. The phosphate because of manure and chicken units specifically is off the scale. It's killing the river. Cheers dude.

We lost alot of weed on the lower Kennet over the last 10 years, But suprisingly this year it has come back in abundance. We also have a chicken farm upstream. Fingers crossed it might come back.
