Autumn Litter pick

Alveston,BS35 3JQ

02 Nov 2013

00:00

The weather was definitely Autumnal - sunshine, breezy and the odd shower - but this didn't put off our happy band of volunteers. 15 of us collected up 10 bags of rubbish from around Alveston and Rudgeway. As well as the usual bottles, cans and crisp packets we found car bits, part of a vacuum cleaner and an abandoned supermarket trolley. Afterwards some of us warmed up with hot drinks and a chat in the Ship. Thanks to everyone involved..

Durham Coast
Durham's coastline is unique. Nowhere else in Britain has such a wonderful display of magnesian limestone coastal grasslands supporting a vast array of wildflowers and insects. Most of the coast is now designated as a National Nature Reserve with several Sites of Special Scientific Interest. The England Coast Path runs through the area and is becoming evermore popular with visitors. The beaches are improving after the impact of coal mining and coastal towns such as Seaham have seen a dramatic increase in tourism. The beaches still suffer from litter and are regularly cleaned by groups of keen volunteers. If you would like to join in please see the upcoming event section for more details. We can support groups who want to carry out their own event by supplying equipment (bags, litterpickers, gloves etc) and organising the safe collection and disposal of the rubbish bags after the event. Please pass this information on to anyone you think may be interested.
