Who doesn't love another group chat?

Well after a comment in the community group chat recently about a builders bag of single-use pollution lurking in the woods that has been slowly topped up over the last couple of years we are pleased to announce it has safely been removed from the woods.

Never to be added to again!!!

A request to HQ to add builders bags of SUP to be added to the trash count data collection has already been submitted.

The woods are not a bin, even despite finding an actual bin there at the same time. The rest of the trails where pretty spotless apart from this one hot spot.

Serious note, don't try to remove anything unless its safe to do so. This was a two person job to remove it from the woods.

So big storm 🌪 Dave decided he was too busy to pay us a visit so off up the hill we went for a spring clean in Menstrie with and local volunteers.

620 peices of single-use pollution (SUP) later from our 2.6km loop we returned back to our start point to do some number crunching and tally totalling.

Most commonly found item, Aluminium alcoholic drink cans including 3 Miller beer cans we must have missed in autumn as they've definitely been hiding on the hill for well over 15 years.

Weirdest thing found, a lazer pen.

A great group enjoyed the sun ☀️ we weren't expecting, chatted everything wild garlic and justified easter eggs 🐣

Spring Clean Season is nearly here, and we’ve got a brilliant line-up of local trail cleans to help you shake off winter and get stuck into some

🧗‍♂️ Alva Glen – 2 April
First up, is leading an elite clean-up crew into the normally inaccessible parts of Alva Glen. Think ropes, teamwork, and removing the stubborn single‑use pollution that hides where most of us can’t reach.

If heights aren’t your thing, don’t worry — volunteers from local businesses and Uni's will be working trail-side to clear the rest of the glen and maybe a cheeky coffee ☕️ There’s a very limited number of spaces for this one to keep everyone safe, so drop us a message if you want in.

🐣 Menstrie – Easter Sunday
Next, we’re heading back to Menstrie after an amazing turnout in autumn. We’ll be tackling the community woods, the Glen, and anywhere else the day takes us, all in time for the annual Duck Race. Hopefully your ducks have been in winter training.

Come along, bring a pal, and help us get the looking its best for spring.
