SUMMARY:Bristol Avon RiverBlitz 2025
DESCRIPTION:Get involved with water quality monitoring this July for BART’s annual Bristol Avon RiverBlitz. Now in its tenth year\, samples will be collected across the Bristol Avon catchment to test for nitrates and phosphates.

The data from the previous nine years is on our website\, where BART will add this year’s data: https://bristolavonriverstrust.org/riverblitz. \nBART invite everyone in the Bristol Avon area to participate in sampling their local rivers\, streams\, and ditches. This includes the River Avon and all the rivers and streams that flow into it including the River Chew\, the Bristol Frome\, the Somerset Frome\, the River Trym and many more. \nThe 2025 Bristol Avon RiverBlitz will be taking place from Friday 4th July to Friday 11th July with volunteers taking their samples at their convenience between these dates. To register as a volunteer sign up here: https://bristolavonriverstrust.org/riverblitz/register \nRegistration will close on Saturday 28th June. \nJoin hundreds of other volunteer citizen scientists across the Bristol Avon river catchment as we work together to better understand and protect the health of our rivers!

SUMMARY:River Detectives Workshop - River Trym\, Bristol
DESCRIPTION:Many of our rivers across the Avon catchment are in poor ecological condition. With the help of water quality data collected by our team of River Detective volunteers\, we are able to monitor their condition\, helping us to focus our river restoration projects on the areas that need it most. \nBristol Avon Rivers Trust (BART) are running a free training workshop at 7:00pm on Thurs 18 July on the River Trym at Coombe Dingle. During the workshop\, volunteers will be shown by members of the BART team how to collect water samples taken from the river and be given their own water quality testing kit to take home and use as part of our on-going River Detectives volunteer program. \nParticipants are welcomed from all backgrounds\, with no previous experience of volunteering\, or river monitoring being required. \nRiver Detectives is BART’s leading citizen science project and involves volunteers across local communities conducting long-term water quality monitoring of key sections of our local rivers. At present\, we especially need more River Detective volunteers to monitor areas of the River Trym and Hazel Brook. More can be found out about River Detectives project here. \nIf you would like to attend the training evening at 7:00pm on 18 July\, please sign up here. \nIf you have any questions\, or are interested in becoming a River Detective but cannot make the workshop\, please contact Dan\, and we may be able to make alternative arrangements. \n

SUMMARY:Pickedmoor Rhine River Restoration
DESCRIPTION:Join Bristol Avon Rivers Trust for a day of practical conservation work to help restore the Pickedmoor Rhine river in Thornbury. \nThe river channel is currently over straightened with a excess of sediment on the bed. To encourage natural river processes to return and to enhance the biodiversity of the river this project will construct 10 complex woody material structures. These structures help diversify flow conditions\, filter out sediments and provide refuge for river wildlife. \nThe day will involve lots of physical labour both along and within the river channel to build the structures. The work involves using tools (hammers and saws) and takes place on often uneven and slippy ground. Because of the working conditions\, anyone interested in signing up should self assess whether they feel they can safely undertake these tasks. \nThe ending of each day may vary depending on conditions on the ground. \nPlease sign up for the event via EventBrite \nIf you have any questions\, email jacob@bristolavonriverstrust.org
