Brown Trout and Biofilms - Chess Citizen Science Evening

Discover more about chalk stream management and how you can get involved!

This evening of discussions will focus on sharing the results from two recent citizen science research projects:

We will be joined by Erin Doyle from Cranfield University who will share the outcomes from her PhD research into using biofilms to detect river pollution, including data collected by citizen scientists on the Chess and Misbourne.

We will be sharing the results of our first redd surveys on the Chess, and be joined by Martin van Heerden from the Environment Agency to discuss the regional picture of brown trout breeding populations.
