A map showing the Mersehead OSPAR beach stretch plotted on it

Come along to join the Mersehead team, D+G Eco Warrior cleans and Solway Firth Partnership for this clean. We will write down what we collect on 100 metres for the GBBC survey. We can then sit down together and have a picnic after clean

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.

Join us on the beach whilst there's still spaces!
