A new free guide has been launched to help the public understand how they can help the River Wye.
Friends of the River Wye have launched the Riverside Code, a pocket-sized booklet offering advice on caring for rivers and helping to address environmental challenges affecting the area.
Nicola Cutcher, a clean river campaigner at Friends of the River Wye, said: "For years people have asked us what they can do to help the river.
"The Riverside Code is our answer.
"If everyone who loves the Wye steps up to protect the river, real change could happen."

The guide covers how to spot and report pollution, follow environmental and farming rules, and avoid harmful activities along riverbanks.
It also encourages community involvement through volunteering and citizen science projects.
The Riverside Code is available in English and Welsh at selected bookshops and community spaces throughout the Wye catchment.
A suggested donation of £5 is encouraged to support further distribution, but the guide remains free to ensure everyone can access it.
It is part of broader efforts to improve the health and sustainability of the River Wye and surrounding natural areas.
