Just four brave souls for today’s litterpick – by chance several of our regular litterpickers, understandably, couldn’t make it.
Safety briefing over our OWLs headed off to their chosen areas of the cruising ground to collect whatever litter they could find.
Heavier sacks today (well, it is around the full moon!). Loads of wet tissues and wipes make an appreciable difference to the weight of the sacks.
We aim to cover the entire area. Some locations are becoming more popular.
We really don’t understand why some of the sacks are ripped down or set alight. FFS! We put them in appropriate places to make it EASIER for guys to get rid of their rubbish!
Not a threat at this time of year, but could start a serious fire, burning down what’s left of the secluded areas, in the summer when it’s drier.
With most areas dealt with it was back to base for some refreshments for three of us.
While one OWL – so in his personal litterpicking zone dealing with areas that have only recently become popular that he didn’t notice the time – didn’t return (with two bulging sacks!) until much later.
It was another good haul.
We reckon that’s the equivalent of 16 of our standard-sized rubbish sacks. With a further 7 sacks collected by our ‘solo’ litterpickers since the January litterpick, that makes a total of 23 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.
