Learn about how monitoring Riverfly can tell you about the health of your local river. Riverfly on the Esk is a citizen science group that have been monitoring the health of the Lothian Esk for over 3.5 years. Made up of trained citizen scientists from the local community we survey and monitor the Riverfly that inhabit the waters from the source to the sea. Presence or absence of these invertebrates can tell us a lot about the health of the river. By joining our local citizen science trained volunteers for a survey we will show you how to take a sample, identify the sensitive groups. You will
learn about the river ecosystem and how important it is to look after it.
