The Tweed Foundation

Volunteer opportunity with the Tweed Foundation

For the next couple of weeks one of the Tweed Foundation biologists, Suzanna Taylor, will be going through preserved water samples of macro invertebrates, which includes riverflies.

This process involves sifting through water samples to remove all the animals. Animals are then identified to family level. This is a time consuming but interesting process, and we would love your help.

If you have an interest in seeing what lives in our rivers and have some time to spare let us know. No previous experience is needed, just decent eyesight (glasses allowed) and good fine motor skills.

There is no set date or time, and you can help out for as little or as much as you would like. If you are interested please send an email to our volunteer coordinator, Erica at echapman@tweedfoundation.org.uk or give the office a call on 01896 848 271 and ask for Erica.
