ObstacEELS Training with SERT – practical training in Leatherhead
10:00 am – 11:30 am
We need you to become an ObstacEELS surveyor and join SERT in helping to map obstacles to eel migration across the Mole Catchment. The data you collect will enable a strategic approach to future eel projects along the Mole which will improve the river for this critically endangered species.
Online Training – We’ll be running through everything you need to know to become an ObstacEELS surveyor and getting you all set up on the reporting app. No prior experience necessary.
Date: 01/07/2021
Time: 6-8pm
We’ll send out the link to join the online training 48 hours before the event.
Practical Training Sessions – A chance to put your new found skills to good use along the River Mole and its tributaries. We’ll be working together to survey a stretch of river and log the barriers we see to help you get to grips with the survey method.
Date: 03/07/2021
Times: 10am-11.30am in Leatherhead or 1pm-2.30pm in Crawley.
Volunteers need to attend both the online and practical training to be part of the eel barrier walkover surveying teams.
