Help clean up Swale’s beaches, woodlands and green spaces at Great British Spring Clean events across the borough.
Swale Borough Council is hosting a series of events during Keep Britain Tidy’s Great British Spring Clean - 21 March to 6 April - where millions of people around the country work together to litter pick and take other environmental action.
The council is working with volunteers and a local business to organise a community volunteer day, on 26 March, to help collect and remove tree covers from Kingsborough Manor Community Woodland, on the Isle of Sheppey.
Local company CDDL Recycling is providing the tonne bags needed to collect the outgrown guards and have offered to remove and recycle them for free - using technology that makes their recycling possible.
Volunteers are being asked to meet at the car park on Plough Rd, ME12 4ST at 9am, bring gloves and dress for the weather.
The council is also hosting a litter pick volunteer day on Wednesday 2 April from 10 am to 1pm at the Kemsley Recreation Ground, Grovehurst Avenue, Sittingbourne ME10 2TB.
If you would like to take part, please email the council at environmentalprojects@swale.gov.uk so there will be enough equipment for everyone.
You can also help clean up Garrison Point Beach, next to Sheerness Docks ME12 1RS, by joining a volunteer litter pick on Friday 4 April from 9am to 11am, all equipment will be provided.
These events are weather dependent so keep an eye on the council’s social media or their climate action website for updates.
