There's something fishy going on..

A HUGE GG welcome to first time runners:

Grace Michael Matt

Please give them a cheer and a follow and we hope to see you back soon!

Something new this week, we were running to help monitor & maintain fish passes in the River Don.

We had Matt from the Don River Trust who ran with us to show us the ropes when surveying the many fish pathways that The Don has in place to allow fish of many kinds to make safe passage to an area where they can spawn in a good habitat.

It was great fun and very educational and we got to 4 fish passes of different types.

DID YOU KNOW..

There is a website dedicated to allowing fish through a door that YOU can open..

The fish doorbell

See a fish? Ring the bell!

Welcome to the Fish Doorbell. Will you help fish pass the city boat lock?

Every spring fish migrate upstream, in search of places to spawn. They swim through the centre of the city of Utrecht. Unfortunatly, the boat lock is closed during spring. You can help the fish.

Do you see a fish? Press the Doorbell!

All the photos are collected. When there are enough fish waiting, the lock will be opened.
