A participatory meeting to envision the future of the Liri River and the removal of the Cesapresa weir by Rewilding Apennines.

Following the experience on the Giovenco River last year, a new initiative is about to take shape to remove an unused and obsolete weir on the Liri River, in the territory of San Vincenzo Valle Roveto. This project is part of “Wild Lyric,” conducted by Rewilding Apennines and funded by the Open Rivers Programme and Rewilding Europe.

Approximately 2,500 genetically characterized Mediterranean trout fry will be released into the Romito stream in Morino, part of the Liri River basin, thereby revitalizing the river ecosystem.

On Saturday, February 1st, a well-attended dissemination event took place in Pettorano sul Gizio, where trout, crayfish, and river environments were the undisputed stars, along with a discussion on the relationship and impact our species has on them.

Supported by funding from the Open Rivers Programme, the Rewilding Apennines team have overseen the removal of five barriers on the Giovenco River. This is a critical step forward in restoring the natural dynamics of the river system, breathing new life into the landscape and delivering benefits to local communities.

Supported by funding from the Open Rivers Programme, Rewilding Apennines will oversee the removal of five weirs on the Giovenco River. This will breathe new life into the river ecosystem and deliver benefits to local communities.

On World Earth Day, we want to be proactive and share an open letter sent to regional, national and European institutions to counter the risk of further water abstraction from the spring that feeds the Rio Verde River and its namesake Falls, compromising the entire river ecosystem!
