The beautiful River Dyfi travels some 30 miles from the hills near Dinas Mawddwy to the coastal community of Aberdyfi to where it joins Cardigan Bay, fed by 300 miles of tributary rivers and streams.
Our vision, as the Dyfi Rivers Trust, is of a thriving Catchment supporting abundant biodiversity and creating healthy ecosystems as well as economically-thriving local communities providing, through language, culture, activities and education, the sustainability and hope for the next generations.
Biodiversity
Our members and supporting organisations frequently monitor of the river. The tree-lined banks of alder and sessile oaks support wildlife but also provide refuge for species in the river itself with sources of food and shade.
Species
A number of globally-important designated areas make up our landscape including an Area of Special Conservation, UNESCO biosphere, Sites of Special Scientific Interest and a nature reserve run by the RSPB.
Climate
Climate change is impacting not only our wildlife but also our communities. Increasing temperatures mean that the waters can heat up to the point that oxygen levels reduce or algae form so threatening species’ long-term survival.
