Bristol Avon Rivers Trust – Yellow Fish

Only rain down the drain!

Did you know that surface road drains lead directly into your local watercourse? This means that anything other than rain poured down the drain, such as litter, car oils, detergents, weed killers or wastewater can harm river health and its wildlife!

Bristol Avon River Trust (BART) are running an exciting Yellow Fish Campaign in the local area to help raise awareness of the impacts of human activity on water quality in the Bristol Avon. We are hosting a series of Yellowfish events with the local community, which involves putting up posters to spread the message and painting yellow fish next to surface drains to remind the public that what enters the drain, flows directly into the nearby river or stream.

Volunteers will use stencils and chalk-based yellow spray paint to mark a yellow fish shape (a great family friendly activity!)

Bristol Avon Rivers Trust: is a charity which delivers education, land and river management advice and practical river restoration work throughout the Bristol Avon catchment. BART is working in partnership with Wessex Water through the Community Connectors project (https://www.wessexwater.co.uk/visit-and-learn/community-connectors). Together, we aim to re-connect the community with our river and to benefit local people and wildlife.
