The Revive the Wye project aims to protect and improve the natural environment of the River Wye and to make it a special place that people can enjoy and in which wildlife can flourish. The Revive the Wye project will be addressing issues such as silted up river bed gravels, excess vegetation, the presence of alien fauna and flora, as well as the removal of rubbish.

More specifically the project seeks to :

• To protect and enhance the natural environment and setting of the River Wye, its tributaries and back streams.
• To encourage the creation of access corridors along the river.
• To engage with landowners and tenants of properties bordering the river, with a view to seeking their assistance to enhance the setting of the river.
• To consider and respond to planning issues affecting the river. To raise awareness of the River Wye and matters related to it.
• To form a Friends of the Wye Group to help achieve these aims.

The project is run by a Steering Group comprising representatives of the following six partner organisations:- Chiltern Society, High Wycombe Society, Wycombe Wildlife Group, Chilterns Conservation Board, Wycombe District Council, and Environment Agency.
