Great to join local resident Robin and Mike from @Avaaz to do some #citizenscience testing the water in the River #Exe.

Citizen science turns noticing into participation. Students can document species, monitor habitats, collect local data, and contribute to a larger scientific picture from a creek, park, schoolyard, or city block.
