About the activity
The Extended Riverfly initiative was developed with the FBA, Devon Wildlife Trust, Riverfly Partnership and our lovely volunteers at the Lincolnshire Chalk Streams Project.
Extended Riverfly was developed to provide more detailed data on streams and rivers — interpretation of these data is aided by two new biotic indices to detect and measure pollution and habitat degradation.

The training will be delivered by Arron Watson, an expert at the Environment Agency delivering this training idependently on behalf of the Riverfly Partnership.
