Visit the Canterbury Environmental Education Centre ( details ) and undertake one of the relevant programmes, 'Water Cycle at Broad Oak Lakes' 'Weather Days' or the 'Great Stour River Study.'

Visit the Virtual Tour pages to take this walk along the Great Stour, which can be used to prime or reinforce the field work.
