Mudeford Avon 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.
Welcome to the Marine Conservation Society!
On Saturday 10th December we will be heading to Avon beach which is a beautiful stretch of coastline opposite Hengistbury Head over the River Avon. We are aiming to clean and survey a section of beach that runs from the Noisy Lobster Cafe towards the northern end of the Avon beach huts.
There is free on-road parking on side streets prior to the main car park otherwise, it's a small fee for using the car park. Please bring your own gloves and/or litter pickers and we'd recommend bringing an old re-usable carrier bag rather than using plastic bin bags. Wrap up warm! It's going to be chilly!
The Noisy Lobster have also very kindly offered a 20% discount at their cafe after all your amazing efforts.
If you have any questions, please get in touch. See you then!
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.
