Find out about GoodGym TaskForce
Report written by Liv Parker-Scott
After a day of heavy rain the idea of heading out for a run and a litter pick could have sounded a bit unappealing, however GoodGym runners are tough cookies!
We may have been a small group but we made a mighty dent in the litter on the canal tonight, filling two full bags with mostly cans and bottles. There were a few other random finds along the way too, including a door mat and a slider shoe.
The final stretch was a really sad (yet satisfying to clear) stretch of ivy that had many, many cans and bottles dumped in it. Hopefully now it's clear it will become less of a dumping ground.
Excellent work everyone!
Canals and rivers are a world away from every day. They’re free, open spaces we can all enjoy - and it’s our job at the Trust to keep them that way.
