Another OWL litterpick. Another opportunity to empty our black sacks and clear up the sexual debris scattered around the cruising area. As well as cans, bottles, newspapers and so on.
The health and safety briefing over it was time to get down to work with volunteers dealing with all areas of the woods.
As usual our OWLs worked their way through the cruising area, picking up the range of litter that we’re so familiar with. It was good to be joined by a new volunteer.
Looks like someone has been dogging!
Our sacks were filling up quickly. Here’s the litter collected in just a few minutes at one location on The Mound.
Half time, so an opportunity to go back to base for some refreshments.
Then back out, ready for more of the same.
And finally the return to the start and bags placed for collection at the side of the road.
The equivalent of 21 of our usual size rubbish sacks today. With 35 having been collected by our ‘solo’ litterpickers that gives a total for the last month of 56 sacks. That’s fifty six sacks of rubbish that won’t offend other users of the woods, won’t affect wildlife and won’t remain in the environment for very many years to come.
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.
