Land Trust sites across the country are taking part in Keep Britain Tidy's campaign to Clean For The Queen to encourage people to love where they live and clean up their communities.
With the support of our managing partners at our sites across the country, the Land Trust is taking part in Clean for The Queen, a campaign to clear up Britain in time for Her Majesty the Queen’s 90th birthday, which will be officially celebrated in June 2016. Events confirmed so far are:
- A litter pick of the playground, road verges and woodland surrounding Seeds Plantation, Warrington is taking place on Saturday 5th March between 10.30am – 12 noon. All are welcome, whatever time you can spare! Please bring your gloves, appropriate clothing and a pair of sturdy boots and collection bags, litter-pickers and tabards will be provided.

- As part of Community Payback and in preparation for the opening of the site and plans to install cycle and footpath in this scheduled ancient monument, the first stage of the clean up of the Old Courthouse site at Port Sunlight River Park took place on 13th February. Another session is due to happen on 20th February with the final push taking place on 4th March with a corporate team from local business Vauxhall Motors aiming to fill a skip to remove all the waste from the site.
- Between 10am – 2pm on Friday 4th March, a group of volunteers at Beam Parklands will be having a litter pick and tidy up of the park.
