Citizen Science - working together!

Your environment needs you!

Citizen science is ‘the collection of data and information by communities for scientific purposes’. You can help provide invaluable data and evidence about our water environment.  If you're not already involved, you could make a big difference by joining us.

Why not get involved?

You will find ways to participate all over our water hub, and citizen science can be a fantastic way for us to work together by:

• supporting communities to connect to their local environment.
• bringing together local stakeholders and decision makers.
• enabling collaborative action and support.

Get involved

There are so many opportunities to get involved and help your environment. Find out more below!
