Spring Big River Watch Weekend, 3rd – 6th May 2024

Rivers are suffering from sewage, plastic, chemical and nutrient pollution. To change this, we need to know where our rivers are having the problems and which problems are the most prevalent. The free and open Big River Watch survey is your chance to make a difference.

Data gathered during Big River Watch can support policy change; helping turn the tide on plastics or stem the flow of untreated sewage.

Whether you’re a swimmer or a paddler, an angler or a rambler, a wildlife spotter or a sit-and-watch-er, Big River Watch is a chance to be part of the movement improving our freshwater spaces. In just three easy steps, you can contribute to a national data set that will help us build a picture of river health across the country.

How does Big River Watch work?
