Citizen Scientists play an important role in collecting, recording and analysing data about our rivers, lakes, surrounding habitats and wildlife. All of this information can help us to establish the overall health of rivers and habitats and can influence future work and projects.
By working together with volunteers we are able to collect much more information than we would be able to on our own. Sometimes specialist knowledge is required, but often just a basic grasp of wildlife and the environment is all a volunteer will need, and some projects will also offer training to get you started on your citizen science journey.
