This morning an enthusiastic team of litter pickers met up to spend an hour or so picking up the litter which had accumulated over the Christmas break.
One public spirited individual had kindly dumped nine empty chemical drums in the woods – marked as toxic to aquatic life. We arranged for Steve Joul to collect these so that they could be disposed of properly.
There was a huge amount of litter and between us we picked up about ten bags of rubbish plus assorted objects which were too large to go in bags. Clearly, there had been many parties in the woods over the last few weeks because there were bottles and cans everywhere. A satisfying morning’s work improving the woods for humans and wildlife – but why do our fellow humans make it necessary?
