My Experience as a Citizen Science Leader

I shared my CSL training day with colleagues from Mexico, mostly from  Metro Norte, RBWM and CRE . They made it special , but also a Mexican environmental gem: Xochimilco.  Finding amid one of the largest cities in the world such an exquisite watershed is a unique privilege. Xochimilco has been used since pre-Hispanic times as a source of water for human consumption and agricultural use.

Snowdonia woodland garden

My first sample was from a friend's garden in Snowdonia. It sits at the foot of one of the big disused slate quarries that are a feature of the landscape there (containing freshwater bodies themselves, but that is another story!) and it is a lovely woodland garden with streams, a pond, a moss bed, amazing shrubs and plants...we are talking a very keen gardener here!. The initial sample showed low levels of nutrients, so it will be interesting to see if this changes over the year.
