Annual Devon beach clean

108 helpers have already signed up to take part

It's hoped more people than ever before in Devon will take part in the 25th Great British Beach Clean (14th - 17th September) - an annual event run by the Marine Conservation Society (MCS).

Lizzie Prior, River Clean Project Officer, says volunteers are the lifeblood of the event: “Last year an 595 volunteers took part in the Great British Beach Clean on Devon beaches. We’d love to see even more people heading to Devon’s beaches and helping clean up at the events that have so far been organised."

The event around the county’s coastline will help ensure some of the most beautiful beaches in the UK aren’t being taken for granted. MCS is running at least seven beach cleans and surveys around Devon but so far only 108 volunteers have signed up.

The charity says it’s really helpful if people register their interest online before the event to ensure organisers have enough kit to go round.
