About

The Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs awarded a contract to Freshwater Habitats Trust for the PondNet project, a collaborative initiative to develop structured surveillance of species using volunteer recording networks across England.

The project, part of the Evidence Programme, aims to secure improved evidence on a wider range of species and provide better quality data through more sustainable, cost-effective mechanisms.

The agreement covers local work with Local Environmental Record Centres to establish the site network, recruit and train volunteer surveyors, secure site access, and support and coordinate volunteers to deliver surveys.

The contract value is £52,000.
