Friends of Henllys Local Nature Reserve are joining in with Welsh Clean Coast Week 2015 with a stream clean up on Mon 11th May at 6pm.
We are meeting on the LNR car park, just off Birch Grove, NP44 6EP.
What do we have to do with the coast? Well, the water which passes through the Henllys Local Nature Reserve ends up in the sea, some 16 miles downstream from us after passing along the Nant y Milwr, Dowlais Brook, Afon Llwd and finally River Usk, So even though we are not on the coast itself, we are doing our bit to help clean up our coast.
Over 80% of marine litter comes from land based activities, so we are joining in and doing our bit too. http://wwf.panda.org/about_our_earth/blue_planet/problems/pollution/
You are more than welcome to join in with us. Please let us know via friendsofhenllyslnr@gmail.com and just bring wellies. All other equipment will be provided.
The trail of litter from the streams that pass through Henllys LNR to sea water is shown in the map below, you may have to zoom out a bit.
