Litter picking in Dulwich Park

[Pugwash]

From Dulwich Park Friends.

We have our first volunteer litter picking session of 2021 on Monday 19th April from 8-9.30am. Last year's sessions were both a great success and rewarding too - the park staff really appreciate our help so that they can get on using their skills to keep the park looking so good.

If you would like to join us, please meet from 7.45 am for a briefing so that we can start at 8 am.

The meeting area will be in front of the Francis Peek Centre (Carpark side).

Trevor from the Friends and Idverde Development Officer Natalie will be there to meet and greet the volunteers and run through a quick safety briefing.

We will provide bin bags, litter grabbers and gloves. Please bring your own masks/face coverings and your own hand sanitiser.

The litter pick will be finishing at 9:30 am when free coffee & tea will be served at the cafe provided by our friends at The Dulwich Clock Cafe (Colicci).

We will be aiming to do this each Monday - so save the slot in your calendar and join us if you can.

Best wishes,

Dulwich Park Friends

Good on you!

Good on you! A reminder too that anyone can pick litter any any time, so if you?re not comfortable in a group setting, just DIY. It?s not a very common thing to see but neither is it weird or likely to get you catcalls etc., so give it a go!

Such an easy way to do your bit. Brockwell park also does weekend picks: https://www.facebook.com/groups/155615956207565/permalink/193172659118561/
