Citizen Science Project Begins

The Association Les Trois Rivières in Chalabre, France, organised its first citizen science project of 2023 on Thursday 13 July in collaboration with Earthwatch. We wanted to collect data ahead of the big citizen science project taking place on 14th September as part of the River Festival.

We tested for nitrates and phosphates and welcomed people to collect the tests and run training sessions from 10am. If people knew where they wanted to test, we marked it on the map so we had a visual record of the points tested.

All the results will be posted here:

We'll be able to compare the tests with our September event and start building a case for our findings over the next few months and up to 2024.
