To: Free range poultry farms

Stop poultry farms from potentially turning the river wye into a wildlife deathtrap

To re-assess the safest geographical positioning of poultry farms and ensure there is next to none of the release of chicken excrement into the river wye , thus , reducing the amount of phosphates that are possibly destroying river wildlife to preserve what is a beautiful river and it’s wildlife .

Why is this important?

due to how close proximity of the farms to the river , the birds deposit their phosphate-rich excrement across the ground, and the rain potentially flushes this into streams and eventually the Wye. The phosphates then trigger algae blooms when the sun comes out. Oxygen is removed from the water and plants and fish will die off. We cannot allow the ecological destruction of the wye and it’s decline in wildlife happen !
