      Yazor Brook

      The Yazor Brook Restoration Project, led by Herefordshire Wildlife Trust's city branch, is working to recover and nurture the Yazor Brook as a blue-green corridor through Hereford. The brook provides a refuge for wildlife in the heart of the city and creates valuable natural spaces for us all to enjoy, but is also used as a repository for rubbish, industrial effluent, toxic surface water from roads and even raw sewage.

      Volunteers are helping Herefordshire Wildlife Trust (HWT) and Bugs and Beasties, a local nature consultancy, to clean up, protect and improve the brook and its surroundings. In turn this will help reduce flooding and support more wildlife. You can get involved here.

      Richard is working in partnership with Marion Campbell (Apple Store Gallery) and Herefordshire Wildlife Trust. We have invited a group of local artists and poets to respond to the Trust’s reserves around the city of Hereford and especially this flagship Yazor Brook Restoration Project led by the Trust’s City Branch.
