British Ecological Society conference

Project Coordinator Lesley Deans attended the British Ecological Society Citizen Science conference titled ‘Citizen Science – Fit for the Future?’, at the Centre for Ecology and Hydrology, Wallingford. The idea was to share and reflect on the experiences, challenges and positives of choosing and using citizen science. The event followed on from the recent publication, ‘Choosing and Using Citizen Science’ a best practice guide produced by SEPA and the Centre of Ecology and Hydrology (CEH). The conference was an excellent opportunity to learn from others carrying out similar projects and also to promote and raise awareness of the great work carried out on the Clyde by those involved in the Clyde Riverfly Monitoring Partnership.
