Sunday 15th December we're in Grangemoor Park for some litter-picking, cutting back of overhanging brush and removing old fencing. After the bad weather it's likely to be muddy, so please wear suitable footwear and clothing. Meet details on the website cardiffriversgroup.org.uk/event/grange...

In light of the weather warnings for this weekend, we've decided to cancel the event in Grangemoor Park on Saturday. With winds of over 50mph forecast, it just isn't safe to be doing what was planned.

Earlier this week we partnered with recruits from South Wales Fire & Rescue Service, @keepwalestidy.bsky.social & Cardiff Harbour Authority to clean up an area of Cardiff Bay where litter collects. 126 bags and 2 skips of loose litter were removed. More pics at www.flickr.com/photos/cardi...
