Otter Surveys

The Friends of Luxulyan Valley's Otter Spotters Group continues to gain more information about the Otter movements in the Valley. We know they are there from the many signs that have been reported, but to get a more accurate picture we have organised quarterly ‘Otter Spotter’ weekends.

The Valley’s river and leat system has been divided up into small sections, each of which is surveyed over one weekend by our ‘Spotters’, at a time that suits them, and should take no longer than a couple of hours. The Group may then have a follow up meeting if deemed useful or necessary, at a venue to be arranged, to discuss and view their findings.

We are also starting to undertake water quality surveys on behalf of the West Country Rivers Trust.  More information on this to follow. 

The proposed dates are:
