Aquatic invertebrates - riverfly surveys: 11th June, 2024
Riverflies are invertebrates that spend most of their life cycle in a river, stream, pond or lake. They are at the heart of the freshwater ecosystem and are a vital link in the aquatic food chain. Their common characteristics of limited mobility, relatively long life cycle, presence throughout the year, and specific tolerances to changes in environmental conditions make them good indicators of water quality.
Join RHF staff and Hannah Teagle from the South Cumbria Rivers Trust to help identify and count these fascinating and important invertebrates. The data will contribute to our monitoring and understanding of the River Duddon.
Suitable clothing and wellies (or ideally waders) essential. We will not be walking far, but some paths and surfaces will be uneven and could be muddy.
Meet at Hardknott Forest Car Park on the road south of Cockley Bridge, and north of Seathwaite (Newfield Inn). Grid ref: SD 234 995.
