East Anglia Youth Rowing: Water testing on the River Cam
Added: 28th November 2024
FreshWater Watch is our global movement of volunteers who test the water quality of their local rivers, lakes, ponds and streams. The data they collect can be used to fight for real change. Hear from one of our community groups, which was set up by the East Anglia Youth Rowing project in Cambridge.
FreshWater Watch and the East Anglia Youth Rowing project
East Anglia Youth Rowing introduces rowing to a wide range of students at state schools in East Anglia. Many may not have considered rowing as a sport for them.
Their Programme Manager, Susannah Cass, decided to join our FreshWater Watch network to give young people the opportunity to get involved in citizen science and to discover more about their local river. Watch the video to find out more.
From 3-10 December 2024, you can double the hope for our rivers by supporting us in the Big Give #ChristmasChallenge. During this week, your donation will be matched and doubled, making an even bigger difference!
“I like to go out and row on the River Cam. Sometimes my dog will jump into the water if he is lucky to get down there. So I like the river to be clean.”
