A great group of guys for our November OWL litterpick, nine in all, including a visitor from SMUT Press.
Following the Introductions and Health and Safety briefings two groups got underway. One heading East (no sign of a star!) and one heading West.
It was a good day to be out in the woods.
There’s always plenty to do.
Our loyal volunteers know just where to go to collect every last bit of litter, whether in one of our rubbish sacks or on the ground.
If the old adage about the amount of berries indicating the severity of the forthcoming winter is true, this winter is going to be harsh.
After a good hour of litterpicking it was time to return to base with the first haul of sacks.
Time to enjoy a break and some delicious home-cooked goodies.
Then back out for more for some. It’s not unusual to hear the comment: “this one’s about a foot!”
Some volunteers went far from base to collect from an area that always provides lots of litter.
Then finally back to base with the sacks tied up and placed on the road for collection tomorrow morning.
The equivalent of 22 of our usual-size sacks collected today. Plus, during the last month, the equivalent of 34 sacks collected by our OWL solo litterpickers, making an impressive total for the last month of 56 sacks.
Thanks to everyone who participated.
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.
