Meeting Point: GYC Tea Room @0945 for briefing & equipment10am start and finish by 12pm
Our beach is looking a little messy and we get lots of migrating birds that visit the Eco park and visit our beach! The orange-coloured Seal named 'Simon' comes and sleeps on our slipway and beach too, while he is molting (which means he is shedding his hair and skin).
Therefore, I have organised a beach clean with permission from PLA, Environmental Agency, Thames21 and Greenwich Council.
This is a free event for our members to give back to the community and help our wildlife thrive; but we do need you to book a slot so we know that we have enough litter pickers and know how many volunteers to expect

Important notes
• Wear closed toe shoes/boots (with metal ideal, but not mandatory).
• Wear gloves (you will not be handling any litter).
• Wear long comfortable trousers.
• Wear long sleeved tops.
• Any cuts and open wounds must be dressed and covered before attending
(mandatory)
• Optional – facemasks and goggles
We will provide bags, litter pickers (limited) and guidance.
I will be managing this event with the help of Dee Smith who is also the Area Coordinator for British Divers Marine Life Rescue and is a Marine Mammal Medic.
