About this event

Charity & Causes • Environment

Join Jen, Education/Training officer for the Sherbourne Valley Project to learn how to survey for river invertebrates. When you complete both the practical and evening online theory sessions, you will obtain a certificate in Urban Riverfly surveying and information pack.

Our practical session will see you practicing your 'Sherbourne shuffle' sampling technique in the river, and learning to identify the species. We will have a theory session in the evening of the same day (online) to complete your accreditation.
