Morning Starters: Spring 1 - Raging Rivers
Did You Know?
Do you have a river near your home? The River Wye is a long river that winds through Wales and England. Like many UK rivers, it faces a big problem – pollution. Untreated sewage and harmful chemicals from farms and factories wash into the Wye, hurting fish, plants and other wildlife. In Herefordshire, children like Tommy, Julia, and Ade are taking action. They campaign to keep the Wye clean, showing that rivers can only thrive if people care for them.
