FreshWater Watch
A global citizen science project developed by environmental charity Earthwatch Europe(link is external).
It has never been so important to protect our precious freshwater resources.
Nearly all freshwater environments are impacted by man-made pollutants and by 2050 half of the world’s population will be living in areas of water scarcity.
We created the FreshWater Watch project so that groups all across the globe can easily monitor and protect the health of the rivers, lakes, streams, ponds, wetlands and reservoirs upon which we all depend

Otter surveys we look for signs of Otters visiting the Valley and report them to the Greater Bristol Otter Group
We take part in the Bristol Avon River Trust river blitz each year you can see the results here https://bristolavonriverstrust.org/riverblitz/
This Year we surveyed out pond using eDNA kit as part of the Genepools project
GenePools is a partnership between Natural England, Cefas, the Joint Nature Conservation Committee and the Natural History Museum.
