River Pride in Pencoed

21 volunteers cleared 200m of the Ewenny Fach and opened the footpath from Felindre Road to Croesty. We removed Keep Wales Tidy rubbish bags, textiles, a rubber sheet, a damaged cone, old tools and more — about 110kg of rubbish.

Thanks to Andy from South East Wales Rivers Trust. Biodiversity checks showed excellent water quality. Community pride at its best.
