Ching Action Group Citizen Science MoRPh Training

Join the Ching Action Group for a one‑day, in‑person MoRPh (Modular River Physical) training session combining indoor learning with a guided field exercise along the River Ching, just a short walk from the venue.

MoRPh surveys are a method for documenting the physical habitat characteristics of rivers — including channel shape, vegetation, flow types, and bank features. By collecting this information, volunteers can help build a detailed picture of river condition, identify pressures and opportunities for restoration, and track how the river changes over time.

This training equips participants with the skills to carry out MoRPh surveys confidently and contribute valuable data to support evidence‑based river management. It also strengthens local stewardship by deepening understanding of how healthy river systems function and how communities can play an active role in their protection.

To bring: Lunch, water, flask of tea or coffee, notepad and pen, fully charged smart mobile device, outdoor wear appropriate for the weather.
