The project in Rother has been set up through funding with a Making It Happen grant from Rother Voluntary Action. Strandliners will be working with community groups to undertake simple surveys in their local area. This will include water quality monitoring as well as wildlife surveys. All training in water analysis provided. The data collected will build a picture of river health across the Rother catchment.

We will be producing a monthly Community River Watch newsletter with the latest results and the upcoming dates. If you are interested in receiving this, please email.
