Join Moray Ocean Community to clean and survey the litter at Hopeman!

We have three stretches at Hopeman so please just stay and do as much as you like but we will be doing a beach clean and survey on 100m stretch at:

In front of beach huts

To the right of the harbour (East Beach)

To the left of the harbour (West Beach)

 

Please do wear closed toed shoes and bring layers and sun cream for whatever the weather might bring! We will have litter pickers, gloves and bags to use but if you have any of your own equipment please do bring it along.

Beach stretch details

The stretch is 100m from the rocks infront of the beach huts heading west.

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.
