River Watcher Recordings
We'd love to hear about what you've spotted along the River Sid. The three key categories are separated out below with space for you to include details about your sightings, along with space to upload a photo. You don't need to fill out each section if you only want to record one category. There is a fourth section for recordings which don't fit into the three categories. We may not do anything immediately with the information you submit, but every recording will help us to build up a picture of the catchment over time. This bigger picture will help us to look after the catchment as a community.

Plants
We're specifically looking for sightings of non-native and invasive species such as Himalayan Balsam and Japanese Knotweed. We'll feed this information back to the local volunteer group, 'The Balsam Bashers' who can help organise the clearance of these invasive species. Please remember to include the location of your sighting, and if possible, submit a photo below.
