Riverside litter pick

A morning along the riverbank collecting the litter that gathers in reeds and on the banks before it is carried downstream.

Saturday, November 28, 2026 · 9:30 am – 12:30 pm

Example event. This record was created to preview the website and will be replaced by real events before launch.

About this event

River litter travels: what we collect here never reaches the sea. We work from the path and the gentle parts of the bank only – nobody goes into the water.

Objectives

  • Clear the banks along the main footpath
  • Remove plastic caught in reeds where it is safe to reach
  • Map spots where litter keeps collecting

What to bring

  • Water bottle
  • Sun hat or rain jacket, depending on the forecast
  • Closed shoes you don't mind getting dirty
  • Work gloves if you have them (we bring spares)
  • Boots with good grip

Practical information

We stay on the path and the dry bank. Litter pickers and bags are provided.
