Dear River Action Supporter,

Thank you so much for all your support. Here at River Action we continue to work tirelessly towards rescuing Britain’s rivers, and we wouldn't be able to do it without you. 

We wanted to update you on a key piece of work in our mission. We have gathered evidence and believe the Environment Agency has repeatedly failed to enforce existing regulations to protect the River Wye, and we are taking them to court next Wednesday 7th February to prove it.

Today we have launched a crowdfunder to help with the costs of this legal challenge, and a number of other legal actions we intend to make this year to rescue our rivers!

We’ve done very well to get this far - many cases are thrown out before this stage, and even we had to appeal the first time around. Now, the judge believes the evidence we have needs to be heard in court.

If you feel able please donate so we can make sure it counts.

The River Wye was our first catchment specific campaign, and we’ve been working with communities and activists along it since River Action started.

“We’re fed up of begging the Environment Agency to enforce the law against farming pollution. We’re so grateful to River Action for bringing this legal challenge, which we consider crucial in the fight to protect and restore the River Wye.” Tom Tibbits, Chair of Friends of the Upper Wye.

Thank you so much for all your support.
