People of all ages are welcome to join the Marine Conservation Society at Severn beach for a family-friendly beach clean and litter survey this summer. We will also be joined by Claire Young MP, who will be helping us to spruce up the Severn. MCS encourage public transport/walking/cycling whenever possible. All equipment will be provided including litter surveys, pickers, gloves and bags. You are welcome to bring your own gloves if you prefer.

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!
