Surveying

Monitoring and research is a key aspect of the Trust’s work. Survey can not only help inform where we target our work, but also help us understand if our work has had the positive impact we aim to achieve. 

Many of our partners are also involved in environmental surveys and data collection – why not take a look in our Library to find out more about the life in our rivers.
