In the charity's own words
We are an environmental charity who organise and run events accross Cardiff and South Wales to clean up and improve water courses: rivers, streams, ponds or the sea! This could be a general litterpick or wading into a river to clear it of shopping trolleys, recycling as much of what we find as we can to fund the charity. We also undertake habitat management across the city.
