A map of Wales showing rivers and regions with names labeled in Welsh.

We cover a wide catchment from the Dyfi and its tributaries, to the uplands of Eyri, reaching East to the Clwyd and across the Menai to Ynys Mon. Each river faces its own unique challenges. Our aim is to work across our catchment to restore the streams, lakes, rivers and water courses across this unique landscape.

We are represented by Afonydd Cymru who are the umbrella organisation for Welsh rivers, representing the six regional Welsh river trusts on a national level.
