A stretch of the Cleddau River Special Area of Conservation (SAC), has been restored by Natural Resources Wales’s (NRW) Four Rivers for LIFE project.

500 tonnes of boulders were reintroduced into 650 metres of the Afon Wern - a key tributary of the protected Cleddau River SAC with the aim of improving the river habitat, supporting wildlife and restoring more natural river processes.

This stretch of the Afon Wern has suffered from dredging in the past, and surveys of the river by staff confirmed this, as the boulders that had been removed were found along the riverbank.
