Intro:
Blair in Bloom have organised regular and a main annual litter picks over the years with volunteers. In 2022 we decided to make the first Sunday in the month at 10am as a litter pick day for anyone that can get along starting in April.
If you require pickers and bags, please meet at the Wellmeadow at 10am. If you are able to provide a trailer to help remove the bags then please let Blair in Bloom know (email below).
We also plan to organise the town into sectors that groups could volunteer to look after but if you have a particular area that your group is happy to cover, again please let us know via email and we can update the information here to reflect that.
Next Activity:
