CDT-SIS return to BBC Countryfile Live

CDT-SIS returned to BBC Countryfile Live for the third year in a row on the 2nd August – 5th August 2018. This year we had some fantastic new volunteers in our first years who started in September 2017 as well as some brilliant familiar faces from other CDT outreach events. All of the volunteers did an incredible job in showcasing the CDT’s research to the public on four boiling hot days.

This year on display at the festival we had the CDT-SIS/ICER marble run showcasing fish passage through a river ecosystem, we had our research into the reintroduction of the Eurasian Beaver, our work on fish migration, our work on plastic pollution and microplastics and finally a fantastic addition in our work on ports of the future which is being researched by Toby Roberts, supervised by Prof Ian Williams and Prof John Preston.
