RiverBlitz Event – Land Yeo, Watercress Farm

Come and join the Bristol Avon Rivers Trust team and Avon Wildlife Trust at our Bristol Avon RiverBlitz event for the Land Yeo at Watercress Farm near Tyntsfield.

The Bristol Avon RiverBlitz (July 7th -14th) is a citizen science event where as many volunteers as possible sign up and collect water quality data. You can come to one of four in-person events, including this one at Watercress Farm, and pick up your kit. Once you have collected your samples in a stream or river of your choice in the Bristol Avon catchment, you will upload your data using BART’s online tool.

At the in-person events, you will be able to chat to the team and we can guide you through the sampling process.

We will be at Watercress Farm with our stall and our water testing kits. We would love to see you there!

Once you have turned into Watercress Farm, keep following the track until you see RiverBlitz signs.

The site is lovely, you might see the resident free-ranging cows and pigs and you can have a look at the awesome, large scale river restoration work going on there.

Guided walk of Watercress Farm 11am: Avon Wildlife Trust will be hosting a guided walk around the farm to show visitors features of the river and also the awesome river restoration work going on there. The river is being re-routed to take a more natural meandering route which will give a huge boost to biodiversity. See the project in it’s early stages.

REGISTRATION IS NOW CLOSED BUT SOME KITS WILL BE AVAILABLE ON A FIRST COME, FIRST SERVED BASIS. Come early not to be disappointed!
