Monday 20th May 2013 10.00 - 13.00 
Meeting at the Sea Scout Hut, Long Meadow, Becton Lane, Barton on Sea.

Would you like to get involved in conserving your local stream?  The Community Wildlife Plans Project in partnership with Pond Conservation and the Environment Agency are running this workshop to train members of the local community to have the skills to test the water quality of the Becton Bunny.  We hope to have committed members of the community involved in regular data collection as per a defined methodology, where the data collected will be used to improve the water quality in this well loved stream.  The project is working in partnership with New Milton Town Council and the Long Meadow Community Group to conserve local green spaces for wildlife and the community.  Equipment will be provided where there is a commitment to contribute data to this on-going project.   The workshop will involve a classroom session at the start, in the sea scout hut, followed by a field session on the Bunny at Long Meadow.  Please wear appropriate clothing to the weather and terrain.  The workshop leader is Dr. Naomi Ewald.
THE WORKSHOP IS FREE BUT PLACES ARE LIMITED.  BOOKING ESSENTIAL VIA EMAIL TO:
