Riverfly Monitoring

Volunteers assess the health of the river by monitoring the number and variety of bugs in the river. Training is available with volunteers undertaking their counts on a specific patch and a seasonal basis.

Volunteers support the Trust staff team and Trustees to inform the public about the work undertaken by the Trust. This is on a seasonal basis and covers the middle Aire catchment from Greengates to Keighley.
