Run a freshwater literacy workshop in your neighbourhood

Host a river evening for your block

FreshWater Watch materials help any community group run a freshwater evening: where your tap water comes from, what lives in the brook, and how to sample safely.

What you can do

• Download workshop guides from FreshWater Watch
• Invite a local angler, birder, or councillor to share stories of the catchment
• End with a pledge: adopt a storm drain, plant a buffer strip, or schedule monthly tests

How it works

You need a hall or pub back room, a projector, and one trained sampler. Neighbours leave with a map of their sub-catchment and a date for the first test day.

Why it matters

Freshwater literacy turns abstract SDG talk into names of streams people can walk to after dinner.
