Join the citizen science team and help us investigate the river’s biodiversity, before and after restoration work.

The team will be measuring and recording features of the river, kick-sampling the riverbed for macro-invertebrates and sorting samples into 28 key groups. Invertebrates will  be further identified at our indoor workshops, building up a picture of how diversity changes after restoration.
