@RiverGeeks_WRT Winter is over (I think) so this fence is coming down soon. If you look out into the field (1st photo), the crop cover seems OK, but my analysis of photo 2 shows there is still <50% of the soils covered #protectthesoils

@WRT_Rivergeeks well that seems to have gone quick. The 1 year garden #ZEBA trial is over! Need to take a look at the stats now (when I get five mins).

Westcountry CSI volunteers - don't forget that any equipment you use to collect or test your samples should be checked, cleaned and dried afterwards to prevent the spread of invasives! #InvasivesWeek
#InvasivesWeek is bringing together a range of organisations to raise awareness of invasive non-native species and inspire people to stop the spread! @CheckCleanDryGB

Brilliant job from the Crackington CSI team! #citizenscience #community
A massive 'thank you' to our intrepid @WestcountryRT #WestcountryCSI #CitizenScientists Just reviewing the latest surveys and there are some great photos coming through like this one of the Ludon Stream, Crackington. Looking pretty good on the #WQ front too!

One of our farm advisors, Yog, has been out in East Devon searching for opportunities to alleviate flooding through natural measures. @catchmentyog @WestcountryRT
#WRT_Rivergeeks great day so far with @Stroud_SuDS looking at options for #EastDevonCABA. Great NFM options embedded in the landscape.

A pied wagtail was recently spotted by one of our new volunteers near Widemouth Bay, as well as signs of plastic pollution from recent high tides/flooding. #WestcountryCSI #citizenscience
