Fox Corner Nature Reserve

Stanford Brook/Hoe Stream

Surrey, United Kingdom

Testing site is within the Fox Corner Nature Reserve about 15m downstream from the confluence of the Stanford Brook and Hodge Brook.
There is a lot of bankside vegetation, but it is easily pushed back to enable access down a gentle slope to the stream edge.
Then carry water sample up to path to do the survey.
The Stanford Brook is a slow moving stream, the Hodge Brook considerably faster and with more sediment.
