We are very pleased to say that we are now ready to launch a new volunteer group, TNR Citizen Scientists, focussing on monitoring species, habitats, and water quality.
We will meet on the 2nd and 4th Wednesday of the month, 6.00-7.30pm at the main car park.
Our first session next Wednesday May 11th will be water quality monitoring using our new Water Rangers kit. This involves taking samples of water and measuring things like pH, nitrates, and phosphates. Over time we will start to build up a better picture of water quality across the reserve.
Future sessions will include:
- Water quality monitoring using invertebrates
- Hay meadow condition assessment
- Bat survey
- Pond survey
Some sessions will repeat the same techniques as it is important to build up data over time.
No experience is necessary, just a willingness to get involved. If you want to get involved but the timings don’t suit you then please let me know as it might be possible to adjust things slightly.
To receive updates on volunteer dates please sign up to our volunteer database, this can be found on our volunteer webpage here.
