RiverBlitz – Be a citizen scientist!
July 7, 2023 - July 14, 2023
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. Volunteers collect phosphate and nitrate samples from a river or stream of their choice in the Bristol Avon catchment. BART then use the data to assess the health of our rivers and to inform our work to improve rivers for people and wildlife.
Anyone can join in! You can pick up a kit at one of our in-person events.
**Limited number of kits available – comer early to get one**
Once you have your kit, you need to sample a stream or river between July 7th – 14th and upload your data onto BART’s online tool.
The more people who get involved, the more data we collect!
REGISTRATION IS NOW CLOSED BUT SOME KITS WILL BE AVAILABLE ON A FIRST COME, FIRST SERVED BASIS. Come early not to be disappointed!
