A bright crisp morning for this, our first OWL litterpick of 2024. Several of our regulars couldn’t be there, so it was especially good to be able to welcome a new volunteer.
Safety briefing over, it was off to work. In places the woods were looking good
In other places the woods weren’t looking so good
But we know what we are there for and three groups, heading in different directions, took on the task of removing sexual debris and other rubbish from around the cruising area, including emptying the rubbish sacks we’ve left in strategic places.
After an hour’s litterpicking in such cold weather the warming refreshments were appreciated.
And talking of appreciation, we found a £5 note. If anyone can give us the full code number they can reclaim it! Otherwise it goes towards the cost of refreshments!!!
Lots more work done after the break.
Some in the woods.
And some on the road where a lot of cruising takes place at night.
Finally, time to return with our loaded sacks
And to place them at the roadside ready for collection.
The equivalent of 25 of our regular-size rubbish sacks. Plus 28 collected by our solo litterpickers. Making a total, this last month, of 53 sacks. Job done!
Thanks to those who dispose of their rubbish and sexual debris considerately. Those who don’t………..please help keep the cruising area as an area that can be appreciated by all users.
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.
