Afon Meirchion (Elwy)

A fencing and alternative livestock drinking water scheme was carried out on a large cattle and sheep farm on upper Afon Meirchion near Henllan in the Elwy catchment where extensive poaching by cattle was taking place. Approximately 600 m of new stock fencing was installed and 300 m of broken fence replaced. The fencing has excluded livestock from a large riparian buffer zone of mature deciduous woodland and a solar powered watering system supplying 3 fields was installed.
