NC_LOD290 Loddon River Catchment

Notes
The day was very cool but that didnt stop the kids going into the water after we had completed the testing and recording.
They are very attracted to the river and the trees, little nature lovers!
On Sunday one of the Waterwatch team attended the National Tree Day with his family at the 'Revive the Loddon' site close to our Waterwatch site. At lunch time at the BBQ he gave an impromptu talk on the Waterwatch program, off the cuff he told the audience the types of tests and the reason for testing. Darcy Kelly is quite the Waterwatch ambassador!

This is the Waterwatch team, they are keen to get the testing complete because after the 'scientific work' there is play in the river and afternoon tea provided by Ms Mac!!
