It was just the right day to spend a while in the woods! Beautiful weather and the relative coolness between the trees.
Our party of six made quick progress through the usual hot spots which thankfully were a lot less littered than usual – hopefully it’s because more cruisers are taking their litter away rather than less sex taking place! Perhaps our signs are having an effect?
With much enthusiasm to get their sacks filled, our plucky volunteers made their ways right across to Woodford New Road – further than the OWLs have ventured for quite a long time, and in some cases the first time some locations have ever been visited.
The Prize Find of the Day: a large leopard skin fur ‘onesie’ – have there been any rumours of a ‘big cat of Epping Forest’ on the loose? Or was it just someone offering a large amount of pussy?!
Given the lack of litter in some of the usual hotspots it was another impressive haul of litter – the equivalent of 20 of our usual sacks.
Thanks everyone.
As a result of some who would like to take part in our OWL litterpicking sessions not being able to get along on weekdays, OWL has organised an extra ‘weekend’ session to take place on Sunday, 2nd July; usual arrangements – start off from the Snaresbrook Road Car Park at 10.30 am. Everyone is welcome. All equipment provided, and free refreshments as usual.
