The Carmarthenshire Rivers Trust aims to restore the rivers and wetlands of Carmarthenshire to their former glory

The Aims of the Trust are

• To promote the conservation, protection, and rehabilitation  of the habitats, and indigenous species of plants and animals, associated with the rivers, streams, still waters and adjacent areas of catchment land in the County of Carmarthenshire and thereby enhance the county’s biodiversity.
• To advance the education of the public in the understanding of such habitats and their wildlife, and the need for their conservation, protection and rehabilitation.
• To promote the sustainable use of the river and its environment for economic benefit thus supporting rural regeneration in Carmarthenshire.

The Trust believes in working in partnership with…

• local authorities, government agencies and conservation bodies to investigate the causes of pollution and habitat destruction and to undo the damage in the most cost effective and sustainable way.
• farmers, landowners and community groups to encourage  understanding, appreciation, access and enjoyment of the countryside in Carmarthenshire’s river valleys, particularly for young people and those with disabilities.
• local schools and community groups such as wildlife and angling clubs to improve the aquatic environment and create opportunities for learning about habitats, wildlife and conservation.
