Long sleeves and covered legs are recommended to avoid scratches from hedging, fencing or litter items. Please dress for the weather conditions on the day.

There are no public toilet facilities locally.

During the litter pick, recordings and interviews will be taking place for a community podcast library and we will be taking photos for social media.
