Great British Spring Clean in Woodbridge Litter picking is a good and satisfying
way to help your community and an
excellent way to meet people and get
some gentle outdoor exercise. If you
would like to join in please email Carol
on [email protected]
to register for an event or get more
information. Litter picking equipment
will be provided.
The Great British Spring Clean is
happening again this year. Sadly, litter
continues to spoil our country. All
litter is unsightly and is often harmful
to wildlife - think of small mammals
trapped in bottles and cans, river and
sea life choked by plastic or birds
feeding small pieces of litter to their
chicks.
For the 4th year, Woodbridge will
be joining this nationwide clean-up
campaign with litter picking events
in streets, car parks and open spaces.
On Friday 22nd March and Saturday
23rd March there will be sessions in
both morning, 10 to about 12 noon,
and afternoon, 2.30 to about 4.30.
On Sunday 24th March we’ll be litter
picking in the morning only from 10 to
12 noon. Volunteers aged over 16 are
invited to join an event to help tidy up
the town.
For families with children who want
to help there will be special ‘Pick and
Play’ events in the town’s parks – on
Sunday, 7th April in Fen Meadow, on
Saturday, 13th April in Kingston Fields
and on Sunday 14th April in Elmhurst Trees planted!

trees were planted at Balliol Close,
Queens Avenue and Oxford Drive.
These trees
were kindly donated by the Deben
Rotary. Thank you to all those who
turned out in the rain and sun to plant
the trees. These will be watered and
cared for by Transition Woodbridge
for the next 3 to 4 years, if you would
like to help please do contact us on
[email protected].
This makes the total number of fruit
trees we have planted 53 over the
last 5 years! We are incredibly proud
of this effort and hope the fruits
will bring lots of pleasure to local
communities for many years to come!
