Litter Pickers of the New Forest
Enjoy fresh air and exercise while keeping the Forest clean and tidy.
What should participants expect?
Litter picking as individuals or in an organised group.
The opportunity to get outdoors and pick litter in the company of like-minded people. Be part of a supportive and friendly group with a common aim.
Where does the activity take place?
Wherever individuals chose to pick (bearing in mind safety constraints) or on group picks in towns, the Forest or coastline. Group picks are advertised on the group’s Facebook page or WhatsApp.
When does it take place?
Group picks are once a month on a Sunday morning, but people can pick whenever they like, perhaps as an activity during a daily dog walk etc.
Who can participate?
Anyone can pick litter, but on group picks we ask that anyone under 18 is accompanied by an adult.
Cost:
Just the cost of a picking stick. We supply members with hi-viz vests.
