Pollution in the River Char:
Results of our 2024 water testing programme
Friday 7th Feb | 7.00pm | Wootton Fitzpaine village hall DT6 6ND
We’ve been working throughout 2024 to monitor the state of the River Char with our partners the Riverfly Partnership, the Westcountry Rivers Trust and Wessex Water’s Bacteriological testing lab in Bath.
Come and hear 3 short talks about the River Char and Monkton Wyld Stream. Hear what we’ve discovered, what it means and what we need to do next.
Afterwards: Q&A with speakers and time to find out more about our work and how you can help in 2025.
Entry free – drinks and snacks available by donation
You don't need a ticket to attend. But it would help us plan if you would visit our event page and book (free) tickets if you're planning to come.
