Riverfly Monitor Training – Upper Avon

Are you interested in your local river or stream and would you like to become a Monthly Volunteer Riverfly Monitor to help to survey and protect it?

BART are running free riverfly monitoring training courses this Summer to expand our network within the catchment and help to protect our rivers into the future!

We run riverfly training as part of the Angler’s Riverfly Monitoring Initiative (ARMI) which is spearheaded by the Riverfly Partnership.  More info can be found on their website here. Riverfly are a fantastic indicator of the health of our rivers and streams and our riverfly monitors keep eyes and ears on our rivers and can be the first to spot pollution events as well as collecting long term, regular data on the state of our rivers. Our training courses consist of an online theory element followed by a practical session at the river.

Please contact jess@bristolavonriverstrust.org to find out more or to sign up to the training session.
