Our first networking event
The first Making Rivers Better event was held at Broadhembury Memorial Hall (near Honiton) on Thursday 8 September 2022, with subsequent get-togethers at Pippins Community Centre in April and November 2023, and at Chardstock Village Hall in December 2024.
Making Rivers Better events provide an opportunity for members of the public interested in or already involved with river citizen science to:
- Meet with community groups, technical specialists, local experts and organisations to explore how to work together to benefit our local rivers.
- Find out about the work community groups and organisations are doing to support the health of our rivers.
- Learn how the results of citizen science surveys inform action on the ground.
- Discover how to get involved in river-related volunteer activities.
This graphic was created at the first Making Rivers Better event to capture the essence of the talks and discussions that took place.
