A Rubbish Idea I

Today we worked with Glasgow Countryside Ranger Fiona at the far corner of Pollok Park. The site we chose to work within is often used by younger groups as well as being a home for wildlife so the need for it to be kept clean and free from litter and debris is very important. Keeping the area clear so that plants can grow and to prevent small mamals from climbing into cans, bottles or jars, getting stuck and starving to dealth was at the top of our reasons to get this job done! We divided into two teams with one being led by Countryside Ranger Fiona while the other being led by class lecturer Colin. We found a variety of things as we made our way through the woodland and along the road through the park. Cans, Bottles, Paper, Robber, Metal and much more were strewn across the woodland. As we cleared the area the team spirit grew as the rubbish diminished and the area looked clean once again.
