  • The National Trust are at it again. For those that remember we have previously campaigned against the NTs involvement in both the Afon Conwy scheme and against a slew of hydro developments planned for Snowdonia National Park. Details here: http://saveourrivers.org/2016/06/13/can-we-trust-the-national-trust/ Their plans for the Conwy defeated and these upland schemes apparently shelved we breathed a sigh of relief. Now they are back with a planned development on the Afon Bodesi in the heart of the Ogwen Valley Special Area of Conservation. Should a conservation charity be building in undeveloped protected areas of high landscape value for no real gain other than financial. Any claim that a 80kw scheme (equivalent to 30 kettles or 8 showers) running for possibly 1/3 of the year will contribute anything towards halting climate change is laughable. 100 of these schemes or 1 offshore wind turbine? We urge anyone who has concerns regarding the development of rivers / streams in the Ogwen Valley Special Area of Conservation for energy production to attend the consultation day on Wed in Capel Curig. Details in the link in our bio. #dronestagram #fromwhereidrone #djimavicpro #nationalparksunderthreat #nationalparksmatter #northwalestagram #wanderlustwales #discovercymru #igerscymru #scenicbritain #wewalkaround
  • We have just got back from the amazing @patagonia Grassroots Conference in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Inspirational workshops and a chance to meet the groups fighting the Balkan dam building boom on the ground. Follow the link in the bio to support them. It was also an opportunity for @saveourrivers and @balkanriverdefence to sneak off for a quick overnight adventure. @patagoniaeurope @patagoniamanchester @nrsweb @balkanriverdefence #savetheblueheart #thedamtruth #nationalparksmatter #alwayskayaking
  • Amazing few days in Bosnia with these dam busters. Looking forward to working with them to keep our rivers free flowing. @theriverstrust @balkanriverdefence @patagonia @nrsweb @saveeuropesrivers #thedamtruth #savetheblueheart blueheart #grassroots #freeriversfund #freeflowingrivers 📷 @alimrivers
  • Back from a fantastic weekend in the Lakes. Great to get back to the best National Park in the UK. Dawny with @2861photography for a film project. #nationalparksmatter @patagoniamanchester @nrsweb
  • Earlier this month we teamed up with @trashfreetrails to run a trail clean on the Gwydir trails. Here's a few clips from a great day in the hot sun. No shots of the cake from @plasybreninstaff , it went too quickly! @mtbranger @pedalmtbltd @keepwalestidy @visitwales #trashfreetrails #nationalparksmatter #northwalestagram #wanderlustwales #discovercymru #litter #trashmob
  • Who is joining us for our #plasticfreeanglesey event tomorrow night. Working with @sas_anglesey to get Anglesey to #reducesingleuse . Details on our Facebook.
  • On the high seas en-route to @patagoniadublin to speak at the Irish Premier of Blue Heart. @patagonia 's moving documentary about the impact of hydro development in the Balkan Peninsula. Who's coming? Save Our Rivers will be at a few more screenings in the UK during May. To check the dates, watch the trailer and sign the petition click the link in the bio. @patagoniaeurope @patagonia @nrsweb #freeriversfund @ecoalbania @balkanriverdefence @saveeuropesrivers @savetheblueheartofeurope #freeflowingrivers #thedamtruth
  • Gutted to be missing the Piedmonte season. It is always a risk with levels there but this year looks like a banger. Here is a picture of the ever awesome Daz James back in the day (or perhaps before the day) on the Heidi run, before it was called the Heidi run. Free flowing rivers are at risk in Val Sesia as in many other parts of Europe, there are some great NGOs working hard there to save them like Associazione Salvaguardia Val Mastallone @nrsweb @patagoniaeurope @saveeuropesrivers #freeriversfund
  • The face of a guy in desperate need of some of Sian's amazing cake! Big thanks to @plasybreninstaff for providing much needed sustenance after our trail clean at the weekend. @trashfreetrails
