Join Hyndburn’s Woodlands Officer Brandon for weekly practical conservation sessions, this week we will be carrying out a Riverfly Survey at Woodnook Vale! This involves kick sampling in the river (Using wellies to kick up debris and funnel invertebrates into a tray which can then be identified. Secondary activities includes using locally foraged materials to create ‘twig boats’ which we will be racing down the river!
