Greater Cambridge Chalk Stream Project (GCCSP)

About Greater Cambridge Chalk Stream Project (GCCSP)

Chalk streams are rare and ecologically rich habitats that have shaped the landscapes and culture of Greater Cambridge. Once pristine, many are now severely degraded and under threat. The GCCSP explores the complex pressures facing these ecosystems - using real sites to study habitat loss, biodiversity decline, and water quality challenges. This initiative brings together conservation, research, and community action to restore and protect these unique freshwater environments for future generations.

We are seeking volunteers to assist us with water quality monitoring, sediment trap analysis, erosion pin measurements and fixed-point photography.
