The efforts of our citizen scientists have supported the creation of a dataset that helps identify effective restoration measures and tackle pollution. This data has now enabled us to build a public dashboard where anyone can access and explore real-time water quality information, understand what the results mean, and see how conditions change over time.
Under supervision, a UEA student released a harmless, non-reactive dye into the River Ingol Integrated Constructed Wetland (ICW), temporarily turning the water green. But why?
Today, we’re celebrating International Day of Action for Rivers, a day that perfectly captures why we do what we do. To mark the occasion, we’re looking back at one of our favourite recent success stories: the restoration of the River Stiffkey at Fulmodeston.
If you can spare just 30 minutes a week to help protect the River Wensum, you can sign up as a citizen scientist and monitor water quality at a regular sampling spot. Read on to learn how to get involved.
We're celebrating the second year of supporting schools, charities, and community groups in experiencing Norfolk’s beautiful countryside with the Aviva Access to Nature Fund.
