Nine OWLs ready for the 2025 Festive Litterpick! And the weather was far better than it had been yesterday!
Litterpickers and rubbish sacks distributed, and gloves for those who wanted them, groups and individuals set off to find whatever litter they could in the various parts of the cruising ground. After a bit of ‘pose for the camera’.
There was plenty of litter to be found on the ground and in the black sacks we’ve placed in the ‘busy’ areas. Given the recent weather it was no surprise that tissues and wet wipes were as expected – wet.
After a good session across all of the cruising ground we counted them back.
Our Festive Litterpick and therefore time for festive refreshments! We were spoiled. Warmed napkins, flavoursome mulled wine and a selection of very fine, warmed, mince pies. What’s not to like?!
After which the litter that had been collected – the equivalent of 20 of our regular-size sacks – was taken to the road ready for collection tomorrow.
Adding the 17 that our solo volunteers have collected in the last month gives us a total of 37 sacks. Exactly the same as last month. We’re keeping the forest clean for all to enjoy!
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.
