Riverfly monitor wanted in Rickmansworth!

Would you like to help monitor water quality? Are you interested in getting in the river to survey and learn about invertebrates? Come and help out as part of an initiative with the Riverfly Partnership called Riverfly Monitoring!

Riverfly monitoring involves conducting an in river survey once a month and identifying the invertebrates you find! By identifying what is present in the river this gives an indicator of what the water quality is like, allowing for us to build long term data sets and report when water quality incidences occur. No prior knowledge is needed as all training can be provided, so please let us know at Rivers.team@groundwork.org.uk if you are interested!

A monitor is needed at a site called The Bury Grounds (pictured to the right) which is located at The Bury Gardens opposite the aquadrome. We are also interested in setting up a new site on the River Colne in the Aquadrome by Bury Lake, so please do get in touch if this is something you would like to be involved in.
