This year we’ve been taking part in the Clean Water for
Wildlife survey again, testing for nutrient pollution in as many water
bodies as possible across the Lower Windrush Valley.
We’re aiming to increase awareness of nutrient pollution,
get a ‘snapshot’ of water quality across the Lower Windrush Valley and
contribute the results to the Freshwater Habitats Trust national database.

With such a dry year and testing taking place a little later
than last year we’ve had lots of volunteers reporting dry ponds! We’ve still
managed to test the majority of last year’s sites, with a few additions.
Results are being collated at the moment and will be shared
soon.
