Togston Links 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.
A Marine Conservation Society event. We will litter pick and record the findings within a measured area. After that we will do a normal litter pick. For the data collection part, it’s usually best to work in pairs as there are a lot of categories to determine. Please pre-register at [email protected] to help us determine numbers for litter pickers, hi-viz vests and bags. If possible, please bring your own gloves (gardening gloves work well), a clipboard and pen. We will provide the survey forms. Please wear appropriate weather proof clothing and sturdy shoes. The nearest loos are a drive away at Duridge Country Park Cafè.
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.
