Would you like to be able to identify the vital signs of a river and understand how to ‘health check’ your local river?

Join Thames21 for our one-day Vital Signs for Healthy Rivers Training Course on the River Ravensbourne at Brookmill Park on 21st May.

This course offers an introduction into what makes a river healthy with a focus on the physical processes and structure of a river and the functional habitat that the river and its surrounding area provides.
