What’s not to like when we have a team of five experienced OWLs willing to take part in a litterpicking session? That was the situation today.
Several of our Solo Owls had done some excellent work keeping the levels of litter down, making today’s task do-able.
Two teams set off to clear the area to the right of the car park, as far as Woodford New Road.
Nice to see the grass growing in the Nude Sunbathing Area. And good to see the permanent rubbish sacks being appropriately-used too.
We know that cows used to graze in the area, but sheep?!
Plenty of excellent work done, so back to base for some welcome refreshments.
Then off to do more of the same, dealing with the areas not yet visited. Then back to base one last time.
And finally the placing of today’s rubbish sacks at the roadside ready for collection.
Another good haul. The equivalent of seventeen sacks of rubbish today, plus another thirty collected by our Solo Litterpickers giving a total for the last month of FORTY SEVEN sacks of rubbish.
We don’t think the woods have ever been as litter free as they were when we left them today. But how long will that last for….?
Nice to be thanked by dog walkers and passers by for the litterpicking we do.
