Wilderness Clean Up Campaign

[Forestknights]

The Wilderness Clean Up Campaign has been growing in North America and in the UK.



I have been planning a number of activities for the Wilderness Clean up Campaign and have been speaking to a couple to magazines to help promote the event.

The main event will be May 16 - 18 2008 for more info Forest Knights - THE GREAT WILDERNESS CLEANUP

I have also been talking with the BTCV about the event.

Rivers looking at locally are.

The Itchen, Hamble, Rother, Arun, Adur, Pagham Harbour Nature Reserve, Ouse, Medway and Thames. Chichester Canal.

I am looking for more suggested locations throughout the UK.

The local scout and guide groups have been very receptive. Locally the probation service are also open to ideas for community projects.

I would like too see more activities planned.

Please email me if your interested in helping at info@forestknights.co.uk with Wilderness Clean Up in the subject title.

Hi Forestknights

There's going to be a 'Litter Pick Week' in the New Forest, as there is every year, organized by the Forestry Commission, New Forest District Council & the National Park Authority between the 1st & 9th March.

[Forestknights]

Thanks for the info.

I was hoping there would be some support for action on here. It doesn't take much to organise a few local members getting together.

Sounds very good - keep up the splendid work and let us know how it goes.
You'll appreciate that a lot of people on these fora are already doing this sort of thing in their locality!

All seems well now. Just spent a good half hour taking a look and especially interested in the Medieval Kitchen course.

Paul is quite right. Also some of those rivers you mention will have very active angling clubs whos working parties will be going out in the next three months. It may be beneficial to communicate with them,,
