–WELCOME TO FRESHWATER WATCH–

We ask that all FreshWater Watchers ensure that they are following the latest advice in their region regarding self-isolation, social distancing and movement. If local restrictions mean that you are not able to take part in FreshWater Watch activities, please postpone them for as long as necessary – your safety and wellbeing are our priority.

If you are looking for other ways to stay connected to nature while self-isolating, please click here to sign up to the Earthwatch newsletter where we’ll be sharing plenty of ideas over the coming weeks.

Following the updated government advice for English citizens, on Monday 11th May, we are pleased to announce that the suspension of FreshWater Watch has been lifted in England. As long as you comply with government advice on self-isolation, social distancing and movement, in addition to FreshWater Watch safety guidance, you can resume FreshWater Watch monitoring activities if you wish to and feel able to do so safely. In Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, all non-essential FreshWater Watch activities remain suspended until further notice. Please keep abreast of the latest government advice as this is changing frequently.
