West Dorset research assistance

[Jamie Robins]

Hi everyone,

Firstly I apologise for posting the same message in two forums, but it also appears appropriate to post this here. Thanks:

I was hoping that anyone here that either lives or knows people in the West Dorset area would be kind enough to fill out or circulate the link for an online survey at River Frome Ecosystem Services | What is important to YOU?, to assist in ongoing research for Bournemouth University. you also get entered into a prize draw as well as helping valuable work. Here's some info I've been circulating:
------------------------------------------------------------------

Bournemouth University is currently undertaking research in the catchment of the River Frome in the West Dorset area as part of an EU-wide programme. This area provides a number of Ecosystem Services to local residents from clean air and water, flood prevention to recreational activities and beauty spots, which are vital to the prosperity and well-being of the local community.

The project is designed to help policy makers involve local knowledge in decision-making that influences the local environment. By collecting the opinions of local residents, tourists, farmers, businesses and specific interest groups a system will be developed to value the landscape in terms of the many benefits gained from vastly different uses.

We are currently seeking the opinions of local residents or any individuals with an interest in the Frome catchment area which extends from Arne in the east to Beaminster in the west, through a short online survey at River Frome Ecosystem Services | What is important to YOU? and we are keen for as many people as possible to participate. As well as gaining the opportunity for people to offer their opinions and assist with valuable research, participants will also be entered into a prize draw to receive local produce hampers when the survey closes at the end of January.

If you have any questions or can assist in any way, please do not hesitate to contact me at i7841773@bournemouth.ac.uk as any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Shame, I'm just outside it.
I didn't know the catchment included Beaminster though.

Hi there, you are still more than welcome to complete the survey!

It is open to anyone with an interest in the catchment area, not just residents so it would be a great help if you took the time to complete it.

And also, feel free to tell anyoen else you know in the area!

Thanks

Jamie

Hi all

I'm still very keen to get people to complete the survey at fromesurvey.com. Remember you don't have to be a resident of the catchment area, just have an interest in it! Please do all spread the message to any residents in Dorchester or Wareham that you might know!

Many Thanks

Jamie
