We have volunteers out and about most days but, for anyone wishing to join us, we have someone at the Croft Road car park at 9 o’clock (for around 10 minutes) on the first Sunday of each month, the next one being Sunday 2nd August, the car park opposite Montargis Terrace. If you wanted to regularly volunteer, we can let you have the necessary equipment on Permanent loan. If you wanted to volunteer occasionally, we can help with that too by explaining where you can collect and return equipment whenever you wanted to litter pick. Sadly we don’t have an endless supply of equipment! Or you can always email us at [email protected]

We recently picked up 50 wine bottles from St John’s car park and went to check it out again this morning, only to find a further 25 wine bottles in the same area as that cleared before! 😟 With Ashdown Forest promoting fire risks on the Forest, this was a disappointing discovery.
