Fabulous Litter Pickers

07/05/2026

Just adding a few pics from our last litter pick around Eagle and Hollow ponds. We will be back in June, keep those eyes peeled… it is gorgeous out there and litter picking is strangely therapeutic ❤️🚮

Thanks everyone for coming today! 8.5 bags from both Hollow and Eagle Pond :)

Lots of thin plastics - including a bag of swan food (don't think the swans want to eat the bag?!), carrier bags bread bags the usual! I stopped counting when it got to 100+ ci******es.

Kim cleared out an area full of bags and "paraphernalia" (ahem) - please anyone using the forest for any means to please tidy up after yourselves! 🤧

All now nice and clean for the swans and our beautiful wildlife to enjoy.

See you at the start of June, keep an eye out for dates!! 🗑️🦢🚮✅
