Spring cleaning the ‘can tree’
4 GoodGymers made their way to help the Slough Borough Council Neighbourhood Services in Slough.
- Friday, 17th of March 2023
- Led by Slough runner
Manjit, Nisha, Pam and Helen met on a mild, wet morning to litter pick around the pond and gardens in Baylis park. We collected three sacks of litter, mainly cans out of the 'can tree' and boozy bottles buried in the bushes along with clothing and plastic carrier bags from the pond. Strangely we also found shells on the banks of the pond - thought we had arrived in Slough on Sea. Further research has revealed them to be Swan/duck mussels found in freshwater ponds playing an important role in keeping the pond clean. Thank you everybody for making the environment just that little bit better for the wildlife and park users.
