MCS Great British 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.
The Northam Burrows rangers and Plastic Free Torridge volunteers will be on Westward Ho! slipway between 2pm and 4pm to welcome volunteers for a beach clean and marine litter survey.
Either take part in some citizen science by helping to identify and count all the litter on the 100m section to the north of the slipway or head out for a longer walk to do a general litter pick around the rest of the beach.
Litter grabbers, bags and gloves will be provided.
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.
99 spaces remaining - join us on the beach whilst there’s still spaces!
