Westray MLWG - Taft's autumn survey
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.
Survey stretch is planned to extend 100m - exact location to be determined depending on conditions at the time.
Bird and wildlife survey to be arranged in advance. Livestock is likely to be in fields alongside beach so dogs should be kept under effective control.
This is generally a fairly wide and easy beach to clean but come prepared for all weather conditions.
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.
19 spaces remaining - join us on the beach whilst there’s still spaces!
