'Every summer local volunteers collect rubbish which is thrown in the river,' John Sanders from Cleanuprivers told me. This time I was one of them. We picked up hundreds of plastic bottles, food packets and drink cans. But that's not all that's in the river. 'We also found car tyres, a fridge and an old bed!' one volunteer said. The clean-up also removes non-native plants from the river. These plants kill off native species and affect biodiversity. At Longley we cut down Himalayan balsam. 'It's a beautiful plant, but dangerous because it covers everything,' said the local plant expert, Lynn Douglas. The clean-up was hard work but fun, and the river looked great! So when is the next event? Check the Cleanuprivers.org web page.
