The Trust is pleased to announce that it is now in a position to think seriously about biding for funding to enable it to put in hand much needed improvement works to the Clwyd and Conwy river systems. However in order to secure this funding it will be necessary for us to submit formal bids or applications to the various funding bodies.
To do that we need to know what improvements are needed? We are all aware of areas that we feel need work but we need to co-ordinate the recording of these in a meaningful way so that our bids are both as accurate as possible and as relevant as possible to specific areas on the rivers. This is where we need your club or syndicates help: you have to carry out detailed surveys of your river.
- Obstructions to the passage of migratory fish
- Essential habitat improvements
- Location of invasive weeds
- Areas of bank erosion
- Stretches where the banks are overgrown and forming tunnel vegetation
- The locations of fallen trees
- Condition of fencing or lack thereof
- Culvert and crossing points
- Overgrazed banks
- The presence of Otter or Mink
- Any other matters that you feel are impacting on the health of the fishery and its fish.
As part of this project you will be required to record your survey findings on an electronic map stored on this website so that we can begin to build up a full picture of the various problems on our river system. Full instructions are included (it’s very simple). To volunteer for the project please visit the Trust Website: CLICK HERE
