NATURE-loving volunteers are wanted to help crunch numbers from a nationwide survey of pond life.

The Freshwater Habitats Trust in Headington is looking for help to process data collected in its national People, Ponds and Water project.

The project has already seen volunteers across the country sample water quality of local ponds, pools and lakes.

Now the charity needs help entering a year's worth of data into spreadsheets to make a useful reference tool for environmental experts.

Anyone interested is asked to send a CV and covering letter to Jo Fever jfever@freshwaterhabitats.org.uk
