Two groups litterpicking in the cruising area, one person taking on the litter along the road and one person trimming back the brambles to keep the paths open. Ideal.
Off we all went on our separate ways.
Call of nature?!
It’s great when we get to an area where guys respect the environment and put their litter in the sacks OWL has provided.
Less pleasing when despite there being a sack closeby rubbish is chucked around everywhere.
OWL aims to ensure that good cruising continues to take place at Snaresbrook. That includes keeping the paths open. What a star he is!
After a good hour of intensive litterpicking time to return to base with the first half’s haul.
And time for a break and some refreshments.
Then off for more, concentrating on the areas that hadn’t been visited yet.
Finally, with the rain falling, back to base with yet more litter, with the day’s sacks piled beside the road ready for collection tomorrow.
Another good haul. The equivalent of 21 of our standard-size sacks. Plus 50 collected by our solo litterpickers, giving a month’s total of 71 sacks. And the bonus of a £20 note found by one of our volunteers. Thanks to him for handing it in. That will help to pay towards OWL’s expenses.
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.
