Fieldwork at Hamsterley Forest
Falla Park Primary School wished to complete some river studies on Bedburn Beck within Hamsterley Forest. OASES facilitated the visit, helping the staff and pupils to complete kick samples and calculate the biotic index of the river to establish the river quality.
Pupils also played ’Pooh sticks’ to calculate river speed.
