Good weather and a good turnout of volunteers. Including two new folks. New folk are always welcome!
As usual, the Safety Briefing as a quick reminder that there can be risks and we want to minimise them.
After which our OWLs headed off in several groups to litterpick across all of the cruising ground.
We get to all of the places that many will never discover (although from the litter it is obvious that some have been there before).
If we discover a new ‘hot spot’ we aim to place a conveniently-located rubbish sack there to help with easy disposal of litter.
Meanwhile, all areas of the cruising ground were being covered,
With work continuing until it was time to head back to base with the evidence of our work.
Time for refreshments (including some tasty warm savoury bites!) and a friendly catch-up chat.
With one volunteer having to head off to collect a further sack of rubbish that had been too heavy to carry back before.
It had been another good haul.
Today’s bag-count? The equivalent of 17 of our standard-sized rubbish sacks. With a further 8 sacks collected by our ‘solo’ litterpickers, that makes a total of 25 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.
