Learn how to conduct the Modular River Physical Survey technique, and get involved in citizen science to protect chalk streams

The Chilterns Chalk Streams Project are pleased to be offering a Modular River Survey (MoRPh) training day this Spring. MoRPh is a way of monitoring the physical condition of a river habitat, and we use it to guide and measure our restoration schemes within the Chilterns Chalk Streams Project. We are looking for new recruits to join our teams of MoRPh survey volunteers to monitor beautiful chalk streams across the Chilterns National Landscape. Current rivers of focus for MoRPh include the Hamble, Hughenden, Ewelme, Misbourne and Chess.

You do not need any prior experience, this is a great opportunity to learn a new skill and make a real difference to river conservation!

Additional information

Programme

The day will consist of presentations in the morning to teach the MoRPh method until lunchtime, after which you will work in pairs to practice the method along a small section of the river nearby; this survey is conducted from the riverbank and not in the river.
