We'd like to say a huge Diolch/Thank you to everyone who volunteers with Cardiff Rivers Group. Without you we wouldn’t be able to do what we do, make a real difference to the rivers, waterways, and other bits of Cardiff.

Some pictures from @cardiffrivers.bsky.social litter pick at St Mellons / Llaneirwg last Sunday
From poo-bag strewn brambles to underwater bikes and a common newt called tiny!

Why is so much rubbish littering our roadsides, our rivers, our parks and other green spaces?
