Report written by Natalie G
The Tesco superstore in Abbeydale is a hot-spot for littering and lots of rubbish builds up along the river bank, much of which is inaccessible. Originally the mission involved donning waders and life jackets to clear the banks but due to the storms the water level was far too high. So Goodgym Natalie and Max, alongside volunteers from the Sheffield Litter Pickers and staff from the Rivers Stewardship Council did an extensive litter pick across the entire area. After all, every litter(le) helps!
Join the River Stewardship Company, GoodGym and ShAFF for a mass clean up event on the banks of the river Don. Hundreds of people use the river every day for commuting or fitting in a lunchtime jog, and we'd like to encourage this active use by keeping it free of plastic and rubbish. River Stewardship Company runs regular volunteer cleanups on the river to help control flooding and keep the area clear for both people and wildlife.
