Electrofishing volunteer days (July & August 2023)

South Cumbria Rivers Trust is organising a number of volunteer days around South Cumbria throughout the summer

Electrofishing season is back and you can join us! Do you fancy learning about fish? If so, you can join us on one of our various sessions around South Cumbria where you will get up close and personal with your local river and the wildlife it supports.

Electrofishing is a survey technique used to assess the health, density and species of fish populations in our becks and rivers. Per site, we require 2-3 volunteers to help catch, measure, record and then release fish species.

As you can imagine, dates are subject to change due to the very nature of working in rivers –  the weather and flow conditions can change quickly, so we may have to change or cancel the session at short notice.

You can find a list of the dates and locations below. Full times and site details will be confirmed. If you have any questions, please contact us.
