NRN Bugs in Brooks community survey

• Events Home

Venue:- Long Mead Barn, Swinford OX29 4DU
What do the Bugs in our Brooks tell us about our Water Quality?
Following NRN’s 5 year water survey of 10 sites around Eynsham, expert Dr. Maarten van Hardenbroek will help us survey the ponds and streams for invertebrates and help us understand what they tell us about how clean our water is.
Will we find, for example, the extremely rare and beautiful crystal moss animal (Lophopus crystallinus, a rare freshwater bryozoan, pictured above), which was recorded in Eynsham’s Chilbrook in the 1970s and only exists in a few other sites in the UK?
This workshop will be held at Long Mead barn and in our species-rich floodplain hay meadow. Please travel by foot, bus or bike if you can. The E1 Bus stops at the Talbot Inn, just outside our gate. We are between the Swinford Toll Bridge and the Talbot Inn (opposite the pub) recognisable by the row of rusty birds on the gate and a thatch barn in the orchard.
