Now that government has further restricted travel outside of the home so that it only permitted if for any of the four essential reasons, it is clear that ARMI and Riverfly Plus activity, including monitoring, should cease until further notice. 

Riverfly activity cannot be considered essential work and associated travel is certainly non essential. In addition, we have to consider those identified as vulnerable within our society, and which may either be Riverfly volunteers themselves or, if not, living or working with vulnerable people.

Ongoing advice

We recommend that everyone regularly checks the latest government and NHS advice by visiting www.gov.uk and www.nhs.uk. Always bear in mind that the situation regarding coronavirus is constantly and rapidly changing.

The Chairman of the Ver Valley Society, John Pritchard will be on Countryfile this Sunday as he talks about low flow along the Ver.

The Ver Valley Society are one of our partners, and they conduct Riverfly monitoring with their dedicated volunteers. 

The programme will air at 19:00 on Sunday 21st on BBC One, and will be available via BBC iPlayer after that.
