Report written by Nathan Swain

Share the love

Spotted while running the other side of the river, Nathan was concerned to see a lot of rubbish and abandoned shopping trolleys on the river bed of the Taff. With rain set to arrive on Sunday and stay for the week the Taff would rise, and all the rubbish set to be washed downstream. Nathan and Darren ran to the Taff trail, down to the river bed and quickly collected two bags of rubbish, to go with two trolleys and a car tyre. It wasn't a fully trashy afternoon as they spotted a kingfisher, heron and egret during the task.
