A great day to be out in the woods and a great group of OWLs prepared to do the monthly litterpick.
Safety Briefing over and equipment sorted our groups headed off across the cruising ground. Often after a Bank Holiday weekend there’s lots of ‘picnic’ rubbish left around. Today it wasn’t too bad. But there were still some remnants.
We aim to visit all areas used for cruising.
Our OWLs roamed far and wide to ensure that rubbish sacks were emptied and rubbish was removed from the vegetation. Lots of wipes today.
Then back to base with our spoils.
Time for a chat and a refreshment break. And consideration of the most unusual items collected today. A frying pan and a shovel were probably the most difficult items to explain!
Finally, the bags carried to the road for collection tomorrow.
We reckon that today we collected the equivalent of 25 of our standard-sized rubbish sacks. With a further 15 sacks collected by our ‘solo’ litterpickers, that’s a total of 40 sacks this month.
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.
