We were delighted to also be joined by the majority of our attendees on a field visit to the #RiverBulbourne that was focus of a large restoration project in 2017, where we conducted a #Riverfly refresher/taster session.

The #RiverGade is a 10km tributary of the #RiverBulbourne. Yesterday new and existing volunteers met to monitor #Riverfly. Often described as the canary of our rivers. Monitoring is crucial to understand the health of our chalkstreams. Training...

We were out training new @Riverflies #Riverfly surveyors today at Latimer on the #RiverChess!

We found all 8 target groups, teaching new surveyors from @RiverChess @VerValleySoc #RiverGade @ReviveTheWye & #RiverBulbourne including treats like a bullhead 🐟

Local volunteers & school groups work hard increasing a sense of place by daylighting sections & planting. A collaborative approach to river management could do wonders here!
