We are pleased to announce that Revive the Wye and Friends of the Wye have been awarded a last minute grant from WDC to help continue our work.
The funding – which was awarded for activities carried out in March – is part of a wider #Teamup2Cleanup campaign organised by HWBIDCO and including a host of other community groups including Chiltern Rangers, one of the Revive the Wye Partners. The grant has allowed us to purchase a significant amount of new tools including secateurs, loppers, saws, mattocks and long pond gloves . This makes life easier for our volunteers and ensures that we are able to continue our work improving and protecting the River Wye.

The tools were used again for a work party at Wooburn Green on Tuesday this week, and were much appreciated by a group of 13 volunteers and task leaders. We got wet and covered in mud, but chocolate brownies and coffee helped to keep spirits up . See some of the volunteers above.
