Down To Earth 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 Down To Earth team are running another beach clean aimed at women and their families but suitable for others on request. We are a Sports England funded Kent Wildlife Trust project whose focus is on getting women in the local area outdoors and active and connecting with nature. We will litter pick for roughly an hour along the beach tpwards Greatstone and see if we can also find interesting items for our trash art project based at Romney Marsh Visitor Centre. Children welcome but must be supervised. Please bring: -Drink of water -Wear outdoor clothes suitable for the weather -litter pickers and gloves if you have them if not we will provide them.
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.
