Litter!!!!!

Hi All
I haven't been chatting for a while. I am now going to the Wildlife Trust every Tuesday for an accompanied walk. We walk round the woods at Lings, chatting about all the flora and fauna that we come across. It is good exercise and very informative, and I have met quite a few new people. We go back to the centre after the walk and have a cup of tea or coffee and biscuits. I have also joined them on litter picking events, on Saturday and again this morning. It is absolutely astonishing how much litter we collected (two black bags full each today) and the sheer variety of things we found (burnt out motor cycle, mattress, three pairs of blue jeans, carpets, building materials, hundreds of bottles and cans, and the usual plastic bags, crisp bags and sweet wrappers, supermarket trolleys, old garden furniture, a bicycle, car tyres, etc.) It is such a shame to see a beautiful natural area spoiled by so much rubbish!
