Actions
The Adfer Dyfi project strands include a wide range of actions and activities such as:
- Selective grazing using GIS collar systems to protect SSSI river banks and avoid over-grazing or under-grazing of areas;
- Fencing of water courses to ensure less stock pollution and erosion of banks;
- Planting or tree management providing a mosaic of sun, shade and habitat;
- Extension of slo-flo measures to a wider catchment to reduce water erosion and produce a lag to benefit river ecology (and also human habitation and infrastructure);
- Support for species using the Dyfi and linked environs;
- Improved pollinator habitats with a trial in Dyfi Catchment to encourage more nesting solitary bees;
- River species and river health monitoring;
- Local community involvement;
- Events and materials for schools.
This project is funded by the Nature Networks Programme. It is being delivered by the Heritage Fund, on behalf of the Welsh Government.
