The weather might have been forecast as gloomy and wet, but our brilliant volunteers weren’t going to be put off by that. Ten skilled guys turned up to what was going to be another highly productive litterpicking session.
With such a good number we had groups heading out in various directions both to pick up the litter on the paths and in the bushes, and also to empty the black sacks we leave in the many ‘hot spots’.
Well, when you are litterpicking it seems that a wheelie bin could be handy!
That gorse is growing up tall again!
Giving plenty of opportunities for playtime. Presumably the only thing missing from here is the Rock n Roll?!
Pleasingly much of the area didn’t have too much litter. Even the area around the Fuck Tree.
Time for refreshments and already our sacks were getting pretty full.
Then more of the same, with some going in deep and strong (to the woods, of course). But wherever we are, there’s always some litter to be found.
Finally back to base and the stapling and display of the bags ready for collection. Another superb effort, and all credit to each and every one of our volunteers. Fifty two sacks of litter left for collection beside the road. Four more for collection elsewhere. Ten more collected over the last two weeks by two of our volunteers working independently and twelve more collected by another volunteer not long after our last group litterpick. THAT’S SEVENTY EIGHT SACKS OF LITTER!
What a great achievement!
Our next OWL litterpick is on Tuesday, 3rd November.
