In this workshop we will be sorting and identifying samples of freshwater invertebrate specimens, with a particular focus on identifying families.
The task will be working through collected samples, sorting the inverts into taxa and then identifying to family where possible.
The data is all going into our citizen science research project to monitor the benefits of river restoration work.
Places are limited – to book or sign up as a citizen scientist get in touch with Sally – [email protected]
