It’s your choice what kind of area you live in. Litter ISN’T normal, you don’t need to accept it Don’t walk by Litter breeds more #litter as it gives an excuse for others to drop it Remove litter & less gets dropped 2 bags of waste (1 recycling) removed in #stonehaven 4.5kgs #aberdeenshire

Today I finished clearing the bushes by the top car park of #Dunnottar Woods #Stonehaven of the last bottles & cans thrown further in. The flytipping’s still there despite being told it had been cleared. I also removed 3 abandoned poo bags & a few wrappers. Another VERY wet day! #aberdeenshire

There have sadly been young birds found dead on #stonehaven beach Today a young #puffin was found struggling but still alive. A huge thanks to Fiona & James who safely transported ‘Mr Puffles’ to #newarcwildliferescue where he’s being cared for. Here’s hoping he’s ok.🤞 #aberdeenshire #scotland

Thanks to all our 48 AMAZING volunteers who turned out on yet another extremely challenging wet & windy day for the #Stonehaven #beachclean with #PlasticFreeStonehaven 189kgs of waste was removed inc massive amounts of fishing gear & textiles!! A really brilliant haul! #aberdeenshire #scotland

It’s #BeachClean Day today (Sat 7th Feb) 10-11am in #Stonehaven with Plastic Free Stonehaven No surprise, it’s going to be WET but the tide will be out & it’s a great chance to clear some of the waste that’s been thrown up in the wild seas. Any time you can spare would be fab!

#Stonehaven has taken a battering from the snow, rain & wind & many streets are a mess. I cleared a bag of bottles/cans by #DunnottarWoods then 8.4kgs of #litter incl recycling & 7 vapes. An hour in the rain. Litter breeds litter, removing it reduces the amount dropped. #aberdeenshire #scotland
