Can you spare an hour a week to improve your local environment?

Get involved for positive change; become a Citizen Scientist!

The Wye & Usk Foundation are part of an exciting new nationwide project called CaSTCo, which has citizen science at its heart. WUF are looking for volunteers who live between Llandovery and Brecon on the Upper Usk Tributaries* to monitor nutrient levels and water quality in their area.

Castco is about empowering Citizen Scientists to gather data, to help build a picture of what is happening on the Usk and to help influence change and positive outcomes.

WUF will provide all your kit and training so you can go out to your local river, take a water sample, performing the tests, upload your results onto your mobile phone and be home within the hour!
