Riverfly monitoring is a citizen science survey that uses the invertebrate life of the rivers as a measure of river health. Once trained at an event like this one, you can adopt a designated Riverfly site on any river closest to you to survey on a monthly basis.
Learn more about the Riverfly method through the Chilterns, Hertfordshire and Middlesex Riverfly Hub.
