About this Event

SOLD OUT - This event is currently sold out, but please sign up to the waiting list and/or email [email protected] to register your interest, as we are planning further MoRPh training days.

We are pleased to be offering a Modular River Survey (MoRPh) training day this autumn. MoRPh is a way of monitoring the physical condition of a river habitat, and we use it to guide and measure our restoration schemes within the Chilterns Chalk Streams Project. We are looking for new recruits to join our teams of MoRPh survey volunteers to monitor beautiful chalk streams across the Chilterns National Landscape. Current rivers of focus include the Hamble, Hughenden and Chess. This is a great opportunity to learn a new skill and make a real difference to river conservation!


The training will take place on Saturday 15 November 2025 in Hughenden (National Trust site) 10:00 - 16:00.


The day will consist of presentations in the morning to teach the MoRPh method until lunchtime, after which you will work in pairs to practice the method along a small section of the river nearby; this survey is conducted from the riverbank and not in the river.


Please bring the following with you on the day:


  • Packed lunch (tea/coffee and biscuits will be provided)
  • Pen/pencil to fill out survey sheets; you can bring a notepad if you wish to take notes.
  • Layered clothing suitable for outdoor fieldwork in the afternoon.
  • Waterproofs in case of wet weather.
  • Footwear suitable for uneven (and possible wet) ground for the practice session.

Tea/coffee and biscuits will be provided, but please do feel free to bring snacks with you.
