🦄 A huge well done to the students from Bucksburn Academy who joined us today to clean-up the Don Estuary in Aberdeen!
🌧️ Despite the wind, rain and hail, all of the students got stuck in and found all sorts of litter along the tide line!

💪 Good Grief!!!! Today we shifted this incredible amount of litter off Craigewan Beach, Peterhead!
It took 4 of us 2 hours to gather all of this from the beach and dunes, carry it across the bridge ready for the council to uplift & weigh tomorrow!

This lunchtime we tackled Fraserburgh, with a small but committed team of volunteers that worked incredibly hard to remove this huge volume of rubbish!
