The Association
The Monnow Rivers Association was formed to bring together those who had an interest in protecting the river Monnow and restoring it to its former status as "one of the best trouting rivers on the border or beyond it" (A.G.Bradley – In the March & Borderland of Wales).
Through a series of projects aimed at improving the productivity and holding capacity of the river by the creation of increased good habitat for all life stages of the brown trout, we are already well on the way to reversing the damage suffered over the last few decades. Such works of course also benefit a wide range of other important species such as otters, native crayfish and water voles. There remains a great deal of work to do and we appeal to all those that gain pleasure from the Monnow to join us in our struggle, join our association and help us make a difference.
