Date: 25 September 2026
Time: 10:00 - 12:00

Dr Iain Goodall runs the Stour Monitoring Program (StoMP) and is a Senior Scientific Officer at the University of Greenwich. He has worked on Air and Water Quality Monitoring for over two decades, developing methods to monitor different types of pollutants.

Josh Hammond is the citizen science (CS) lead from the Kent & South London Environment Agency Analysis and Reporting (A&R) team.

Join Iain and Josh on this guided walk, an opportunity for people interested in undertaking Water Quality Monitoring as a volunteer Citizen Scientist to see how different pollutants find their way into the River Stour across Canterbury. The tour will visit locations where surface water and sewerage overflow releases have occurred, identify what to look out for, and how to collect and test water samples for ammonia, nitrate and phosphate using simple testing kits.

We will meet in Westgate Gardens by the Don Juan Sabor café, and the tour will commence at 10:00 am. The tour will last approximately 2 hours and cover 2.5 miles. Comfortable and sturdy shoes suitable for walking are recommended, and appropriate clothing.
