Working towards a River Dee free of pollution and full of wildlife.

28/10/2026

Another litter pick completed today, and this one was pretty grim!

We tackled a new stretch of river, and it quickly became clear just how much historic rubbish was still sitting in the riverbed and along the banks.

It’s frustrating to see waste that’s likely been there for years, but it’s also incredibly satisfying to finally get some of it out of the river.

A huge thank you to all our volunteers who got stuck in today, especially with some of the less pleasant finds!

There’s still plenty more to remove, but every litter pick makes a difference.

Why do salmon swim upstream?

With spawning season approaching on the River Dee, we’re looking at some of the reasons behind this incredible migration.

Ultimately, it’s all about reaching suitable freshwater habitat to reproduce and give the next generation the best chance of survival.

Just one of the many reasons healthy, connected rivers are so important!

There are many other reasons why they do this, these are just a few.

Su’mae pawb! 👋

Happy Diwrnod Shwmae Su’mae!

Today is all about celebrating the Welsh language and encouraging everyone to give it a go!

You don’t need to speak Welsh fluently to get involved. Even starting a conversation with a simple Shwmae or Su’mae is a great way to celebrate and use the language.

I’ve had a go at making my own video for this year’s Pwy Sy’n Dweud Shwmae? campaign!

A massive diolch to and my tutor for the support with my Welsh!

So, who’s saying Shwmae next?

Another great litter pick on the River Dee, this time just below the Pontcysyllte Aqueduct!

A brilliant effort from our volunteers, getting stuck in and removing litter from another stretch of the river.

As always, a huge thank you to everyone who came along and helped make a difference! 🙌

Great haul around Moss Valley this morning! 🙌

The country park itself was actually really clean and well looked after, I know there are plenty of keen people doing their bit in this area. Most of what we collected came from the brook flowing into and out of the lakes.

That water eventually makes its way through Wrexham and into the Dee, so we’re glad to get this lot out before it travelled any further!

As always, a huge thanks to all our volunteers, some regular faces and some new ones too!

The River Dee.

Flowing from Eryri National Park through Wales and England to the Dee Estuary, the Dee is one of the UK’s most biodiverse rivers: supporting wildlife, communities and providing drinking water for around 2 million people.

At Dee Trust, we’re finding and fixing problems on the ground: tackling pollution, restoring habitats and engaging communities.

Our goal is simple: A River Dee free from pollution and full of wildlife.

And you can be part of it.
