We view ourselves as custodians of the Duddon, caretakers of its fauna and flora. With the help of citizen science, we are able to map the local wildlife via iNaturalist, engaging with the local community to log what they see.

To regenerate and revitalise nature around the Duddon, we first need to understand more about what is living here now.

Monitoring Bat Acoustics in The Duddon Catchment Area
The aim of the bat sound monitoring project is to increase the number of records of bats within the River Duddon’s catchment using bat detectors.
These detectors are able to detect sound in the ultrasonic range that bats use to echolocate. Bats use echolocation to navigate in the dark, to find their food (e.g. moths, midges, beetles, spiders and more!) and also communicate with other bats.
We believe lasting change comes from working together. Whether through volunteering, supporting a project, or simply learning more about sustainability in your daily life, there are many ways to get involved. Together, we can protect the Duddon and ensure a thriving future for generations to come.
