SUMMARY:Online Theory Session - Riverfly Monitoring Training Course
DESCRIPTION:Please sign up for your ticket to attend an online RMI theory training session here. You only need to attend one session\, but must be able to attend in full at the time stated. \nThe Zoological Society of London (ZSL) and project partners across London are offering training in the Riverfly Monitoring Initiative (RMI). The RMI is a national scheme for monitoring the health of rivers\, developed by the Riverfly Partnership. It gives trained volunteers the tools to detect and report pollution events\, builds essential long-term datasets on the health of rivers and links volunteers with other organisations working to improve our rivers. \nThe full training this year is in two parts\, an online theory session is mandatory before attending a practical session at a river. \nThe online theory training sessions are on: \n\nThursday 5 August at 16:00 – 19:00\nThursday 12 August at 16:00 – 19:00\n\nRMI sampling uses the presence and abundance of invertebrates in a sample to gauge the health of your river. In the training you will learn: \n\n•The theory of the RMI and how it helps improve rivers\n•How to kick sample a river\n•How to identify river invertebrates and score a sample\n•What to do with the data you collect and how to get involved in Riverfly Monitoring Schemes across London\n\nOnce you have completed the online theory you can attend one of the following practical sessions on Saturday 14 August: \n\nCrane Park Island\, Twickenham 10:00 – 13:00 CraneRMI.eventbrite.co.uk\nRiverside Park\, North Finchley 09:30 – 12:30 BrentLeaRMI.eventbrite.co.uk\nJames Leal Centre\, Redbridge 14:00 – 17:00 RodingRMI.eventbrite.co.uk\nEastbrookend Discovery Centre 10:00 – 13:00 RomBeamIngrebourneRMI.eventbrite.co.uk\n\nMore information is here; www.riverflies.org/rp-riverfly-monitoring-initiative \nYou must be over 16 to attend this course \nIn partnership with Zoological Society of London

SUMMARY:Riverfly Monitoring practical training - Eastbrookend Discovery Centre
DESCRIPTION:Please sign up for your ticket to attend RMI training here. Places are limited so please make sure you can sample your river for at least 6 months (1 sample per month) before registering.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Land of the Faans and Thames21 coordinate a Riverfly Monitoring Initiative (RMI) on the Rivers Beam and Ingrebourne and are looking for more volunteers. The RMI is a national scheme for monitoring the health of rivers\, developed by the Riverfly Partnership. It gives trained volunteers the tools to detect and report pollution events\, builds essential long-term datasets on the health of rivers and links volunteers with other organisations working to improve our rivers. \nRMI sampling uses the presence and abundance of invertebrates in a sample to gauge the health of your river. Free training in the sampling method will be provided by the Zoological Society of London. \nYOU CAN ONLY ATTEND THIS SESSION IF YOU HAVE COMPLETED THE ONLINE THEORY SESSION AND PASSED A TEST (click here to sign up for the theory session) \nIn this session you will learn: \n\nHow to kick sample a river\nHow to identify river invertebrates and score a sample\nWhat to do with the data you collect and how to get involved in Riverfly Monitoring Schemes across London\n\nMore information is here; www.riverflies.org/rp-riverfly-monitoring-initiative \nYou must be over 16 to attend this course \nEquipment and refreshments will be provided. \nWe look forward to seeing you soon! \nIn partnership with Zoological Society of London

SUMMARY:Water vole monitoring
DESCRIPTION:YOU CAN HELP SAVE OUR WATER VOLE \nARKive-video-474E7FB2-597A-497F-93E5-B26B14038488 \nHere he is\, a water vole washing his face. His story is not all wind-in-the willows. What have we ever done for him? We cut down the vegetation\, his cover and food supply\, blocked his streams. And to cap it all kept mink in fur farms to supply coats: great idea until they were released or escaped in the 1950s to pillage out native wild life. with alarming efficiency. They live and hunt near water and can swim well\, resulting in them becoming the main predator of the water vole. One female mink can penetrate a water vole burrow with catastrophic consequences\, wiping out whole colonies in one fell swoop. Previously\, water voles could escape from their predators (weasels and stoats) by swimming. In England we lost 95% of our water vole by the year 2000. But there is something you can do to save our water vole which we still have on our river the Ingrebourne and nearby. This is done by using mink monitoring rafts to establish if mink are present in an area then once detected mink are trapped and humanely dispatched. This we have to do as well as take more care of the river environment. We are the Havering Wildlife Project and are running three workdays to train people in an East Anglian pilot scheme for nationwide watervole conservation. \nOn our workday you will: be shown how to set up and look after a mink raft\, insert the new smart trap\, move and launch the raft\, operate the remote sensor and go through responding to an alert . We are running three workdays at different locations. The first will be on Tuesday 17th August starting at 10am at Black Bridge which is a short walk from the Visitor Centre at Hornchurch Country Park parking area\, and bus stops for the 252 from Hornchurch or Elm Park. \nInterested then be sure to email Aisling Woodhead: aisling.woodhead@thameschase.org.uk by the 9th August
