Today 8 of us took on the second group task of the evening to litter pick supporting the William Hobbayne Centre that have patches of land all over Ealing and Hanwell. This time we had a mission; find the sofa that had been fly-tipped in Half Acre Wood. Some of the sign ups swapped to go to the grounds clearing task as we had more space this week to socially distance.

Mission accepted

Sevan, Adam, Bryon, Caroline, Milly and Liv boldly followed June from William Hobbayne off into the wilderness with the help of Harvey's trusty trolley.

We ticked off a fair few of the litter pick bingo items, finding little stashes of rubbish hidden in corners of woods which is always frustrating.

Sofa hide and seek

The Sofa itself was split into five pieces and also "hidden" in the woods- whyyy do people do this!?

We litter picked the woods and loaded up the trolley and Adam, Bryon and Milly guided the trolley back to the Hobbayne centre to get rid of the rubbish. crashed into a few bushes as that trolley has a mind of its own, especially with Adam in charge.

Arrived unscathed, got rid of the goods and we were off for the evening.

Thanks to everyone that joined us!

Canals and rivers are a world away from every day. They’re free, open spaces we can all enjoy - and it’s our job at the Trust to keep them that way.
