Dozens of people have marched through Hereford to call for an urban wetland in the city centre

The march was part of a wider “day of action” organised by Herefordshire Wildlife Trust calling for the restoration of rivers and streams

Jamie Audsley, CEO of Herefordshire Wildlife Trust, said supporters wanted a nature reserve to revitalise Hereford as a “river city”.

People marched with banners from the bull statue in High Town to the old Essex Arms sports ground, which the trust hopes to transform into a wetland nature reserve.
