Yesterday was the final (and biggest) Wye catchment mass sampling event of the year. Water quality was assessed at over 170 sites across the catchment and 30 samples were collected for lab analysis, all by local citizen scientists. Amazing effort from everyone involved!

This is massive, and horrific. @NFUtweets is secretly lobbying the government to allow #neonicotinoid pesticides to be reintroduced after Brexit. It tells its members: "Please refrain from sharing this on social media.".On the contrary, please RT.

Some great ideas coming from farmers to help tackle the issue of #plasticpollution in our rivers and the ocean. Finding alternatives to the use of plastic in farming is key. @theriverstrust @sascampaigns @CUWaterResearch.
