The waterway needs your help!

Easter has been and gone and celebrations at the lake have peaked leaving behind lots of litter.

Before the winter rain start and litter has a chance to enter the waterway and hurts our wildlife lets roll up our sleeves and get rid of it.

Sunday 7th April @ 9.00am

We will be meeting at the notice board between the bridge and playground Griffiths St, Reservoir.

We first be collecting the litter then conducting litter sort so we can upload the data into LitterWatch portal.

If you do wish to participate in the litter collection, please sure that you;

1. Wear suitable sturdy, closed toed shoes, long sleeves and long pants

2. Are sun smart with a hat, protective clothing and sunscreen

3. Register your details via the QR code when you arrive (name, email address and phone number etc.) for insurance purposes, before picking up litter

4. Do not enter the water. The water can hold hidden dangers. Instead take a photo of any litter in the water and let one of the FoEL team know.

5. Do not enter tall grass. Tall grass can hold hidden dangers such as holes and snakes. You may also risk stepping, crushing and possibly killing smaller reptiles and amphibians who may call the tall grass home

6. Remember to take before and after photos of the areas you clean

We will be collecting litter for about 1.5 hour then finishing by the litter sorting.

There is no expectation to stay for any length of time, every bit helps!

All are welcome to join. We look forward to seeing you
