Welcome to Tame

Tame West Midlands is a river that flows through the West Midlands region of England. It is a tributary of the River Trent and is approximately 95 km long. The river rises in the hills near Oldbury and flows through the towns of Dudley, Walsall, and Tamworth before joining the River Trent near Alrewas. The river has played an important role in the history of the region, providing water for industry and transportation.

The Tame West Midlands is home to a variety of wildlife, including otters, kingfishers, and herons. The river also supports a number of fish species, including brown trout, grayling, and chub. The river and its surrounding areas are designated as Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) due to their importance for wildlife and biodiversity. The Tame Valley Wetlands, which includes the Tame West Midlands, is a partnership project aimed at restoring and enhancing the natural environment of the area.

Despite its importance, the Tame West Midlands has faced a number of challenges in recent years. Pollution from industry and agriculture has had a negative impact on the river's water quality, and urbanization has led to the loss of natural habitats. However, efforts are being made to address these issues, including the implementation of pollution control measures and the creation of new green spaces. The Tame West Midlands remains an important part of the region's natural heritage, and it is hoped that these efforts will help to ensure its continued survival and prosperity.
