Freshwater Invertebrate Surveys at Paradise Fields with Citizen Zoo

Dive into the world of freshwater ecosystems and be part of an extraordinary conservation effort at Paradise Fields!

As the Ealing Beaver Project, a collaboration between Citizen Zoo, Ealing Wildlife Group, Friends of Horsenden Hill and Ealing Council, eagerly prepares to reintroduce beavers to this urban sanctuary, we invite you to join our freshwater invertebrate surveys in collaboration with Zoological Society London (ZSL). This crucial survey will help assess water quality levels across the site, setting the stage for the beavers’ remarkable impact on the environment.

By becoming a volunteer, you’ll receive training on conducting these surveys, empowering you to contribute to ongoing data collection and analysis. Your involvement will extend far beyond this initial survey, as we encourage long-term commitment to monitoring and protecting the water quality in Paradise Fields.

Beavers, often referred to as nature’s engineers, have an incredible ability to transform their surroundings. Their presence can have a profound positive effect on water quality. Through their dam-building activities, beavers create small ponds and wetlands that act as natural filters, cleansing the water and creating diverse habitats for other aquatic species.

Join us on this exciting journey to witness firsthand the beavers’ transformative powers and their influence on water ecosystems. By participating in the survey and becoming a long-term volunteer, you’ll contribute to the conservation and preservation of these vital habitats.

This is a unique opportunity to deepen your understanding of freshwater ecology, make a tangible impact, and forge lasting connections with like-minded individuals.

Come and be a part of this remarkable journey at Paradise Fields! Together, let’s champion the beavers and their invaluable role in improving water quality for generations to come. Sign up today and embark on a conservation adventure like no other!
