Another month; another OWL litterpick. Six willing volunteers were ready to clean up the woods and make them better for all users.
As usual we set off in teams, our tasks being to empty the various rubbish sacks we’ve placed in the many ‘hot spots’; to clear up the rubbish around them (SO unnecessary when there’s a sack so close); and to remove the litter from the paths and tracks.
There’s never a shortage of litter to be collected.
It’s great that in the sunbathing areas generally guys use the rubbish sacks we’ve placed there. Makes it better for everyone. Nevertheless, the sacks still need to be emptied.
If guys are cruising in the woods they are probably after cock. Here are two found in the woods:
With plenty of work done refreshments are always appreciated. Especially when there are home-cooked delights!
More rubbish, including lots of sexual debris, still to be collected so on we went.
Those of a nervous disposition should beware. It might have seemed like a scene from Chainsaw Masacre. In fact it was a friendly OWL ensuring that brambles, nettles and gorse along the paths is trimmed back. No one wants scratches or stings on their sensitive parts.
Our OWL volunteers had covered a lot of ground on this litterpick. Including clearing up two areas of flytipping; one lot seemed to be kitchen items and the other was bedroom items (but not THAT sort of bedroom item)!
The total bag-count for todays session was the equivalent of 32 standard sized rubbish sacks. Adding 39 collected over the last month by our ‘solo’ litterpickers gives a monthly total of 71 sacks. At least much of it heads off for re-cycling.
Please note that we respect everyone’s right to anonymity and only show pics of those willing to have them posted. There might have been more OWL volunteers taking part than are in the above pictures.
No inferences should be drawn from anyone’s participation in an OWL litterpicking session.
