Charlestown Peninsula Spring Beach Clean
Join this beach clean to help us stop harmful litter from reaching the ocean and collect vital data that we can use to bring about positive change for our seas.
The CLP Nature Conservation Group are organising a number of beach cleans across the villages on Sunday 23rd April. The purpose of the event is to remove as much litter from our beaches as possible! Heavy rain and strong winds has forced a lot of litter and waste onto the beaches over the winter.
Each beach clean will be lead and supervised by local volunteers who can provide details on safety prior to commencing the clean.
We have some equipment and will provide rubbish bags. Please bring our own gloves and check the weather forecast in case you need to wrap up!
Also worth knowing…
What to bring: We’d recommend you pack a rucksack with a few essentials like sunscreen, waterproofs, hand sanitiser, and perhaps some snacks and a drink (in a reusable bottle, of course).
What to wear: If you're picking up litter with your hands it's worth wearing a strong pair of gloves - like gardening gloves - just to make sure you're protected. Sturdy shoes are a must for protection too.
Under 16s: To comply with our insurance, volunteers under 16 will need to be accompanied by an adult who will be asked to sign a parental / guardian consent form on the day by the beach clean organiser.
