PLEASE HELP FIND SOURCES OF POLLUTION IN THE LOWER LEA AND TRIBUTARIES BY JOINING AN OUTFALL SAFARI

Pollution can find its way into urban rivers via surface water outfalls (drains) as a result of misconnected plumbing. We are looking for volunteers to help conduct Outfall Safari surveys on the lower Lea and tributaries.

This involves bankside surveys of stretches of the river to map and record the impact of outfalls.

The surveys will take place during:  March—April 2023

As a volunteer, you can choose which stretch of the river and at what time to conduct the survey, within the survey period. The survey will be conducted from the riverside path, in areas that are accessible and where the river is easily visible. Training will be provided by ZSL.

The training session will take place at: 

Walthamstow Wetlands, London Wildlife Trust,
2 Forest Road, London, England, N17 9NH,
on Thursday 23rd March at 10:30-12:30.

Once registered, more information will be sent to you about how to join the training.
