Women In Wellies

The Women In Wellies project will create opportunities for women in farming, agriculture, and horticulture to come together, meet socially, and develop peer support relationships while also creating opportunities for LRSN to provide health and wellbeing support. The sessions will be led by one of the LRSN nurses, who will offer health screening checks alongside a focus on delivering health information, awareness raising, and supporting improved wellbeing.

13 August - River dipping in the river Bain 11.00-1.00 River Bain, Horncastle

Whether you come alone or bring the kids, this event is perfect for everyone. River dipping is a fascinating activity that allows you to explore the rich aquatic life in rivers. It involves wading into shallow parts of a river and using nets or other tools to catch and observe various aquatic creatures, such as fish and macroinvertebrates.

Looking for macroinvertebrates, like mayfly nymphs, caddisfly larvae, and stonefly nymphs, is a great way to monitor water quality. These creatures are sensitive to pollution and changes in their environment, making them excellent indicators of river health. By observing the presence and abundance of these species, we can assess water quality and detect any potential issues.

It’s a fun hands-on activity and an opportunity to learn about the ecosystem and the species that call the river home. Click here to book
