Electrofishing is a survey technique used to assess the health, density and species of fish populations in our becks and rivers. 2-3 volunteers are needed per site to help catch, measure, record and release fish species.

Provisional dates are subject to change, based on weather and flow conditions. Full times and site details will be confirmed. Please email jayne@scrt.co.uk to register your interest.
