Get Involved: How to Participate in the Big River Watch

Will you see pollution or wildlife? Take part in the Big River Watch and help survey your river: 6th - 12th September 2024

Our beautiful and vital rivers are in crisis, and every bit of data about their health helps organisations better plan how to restore and protect them.


The Rivers Trust’s Big River Watch is your invitation to love your local stretch of river and stand up for wildlife. To play your part as a citizen scientist, simply download the free Big River Watch app (available in English and Welsh), spend 15 minutes by a river between the 6th - 12th of September, and complete the short survey to record what you see - from wildlife and water colour to pollution.


Your response will be part of a UK and Ireland-wide dataset that can be used to fight for cleaner rivers. Learn more: The Big River Watch | The Rivers Trust


We would love to get as many people from across Essex and Suffolk involved in this event as possible!

 

Once you’ve finished your survey why not share a photo or video on social media to encourage others to join in too. Not up for a selfie? That’s okay we’d love to see a photo of your river too! Tell us your stories and facts, we want to know why your river is important to you! Please tag Essex and Suffolk Rivers Trust (@EssexSuffolkRT) in your social media posts so that we can see them!
