​

This September, we are urging locals to help with their Green Clean initiative in a bid to clean up Shropshire’s countryside as litter picking events sweep across the county.
 

The campaign follows last year’s successful Green Clean which saw volunteers come together at Telford’s local nature reserve and Town Park.

​

This year, the charity is expanding their initiative, with events taking place in Telford, Oswestry and Rea Valley.
 

The national campaign, led by CPRE, has so far resulted in the collection of over 11,000 bottles and cans and hundreds of bags of rubbish across the UK, leading to a cleaner and safer environment for wildlife, nature, and us, to enjoy.

Connor Furnival, a Trustee at CPRE’s Shropshire branch, said;

“As part of CPRE’s Green Clean we will be holding a number of litter picks across Shropshire to help clean up Shropshire’s beautiful countryside. We really hope you can show your support for our vital green spaces by coming along! The event on the day is always friendly, welcoming and fun so we are encouraging as many locals as possible to come and join us!”
