21 day light enabled Hackney GoodGymers ran 6k to grab all the litter we could find in Abney Park Cemetery!
A strong group assembled this evening for a wide spread task all over the large Abney Park pathways and vegetation to grab as much litter from the park as possible!
With a full safety briefing complete we split up into mini groups and headed out to explore the park and pick as much stuff that shouldn’t be there as possible!
Plastics, cigarette buts, bottle caps, beer cans and even a frying pan!! Were all collected and removed.
Picks like this help to not only clear the park but also discourage litter dropping as people can see it is taken care of.
A speedier 3k Run back to base with a few of the squad pushing the pace.
Great to have you along and hope to see you next week for our Hollybush visit.
Best
