SUMMARY:Upper Waitematā Coastal Clean Up
DESCRIPTION:It’s back!  After an amazing event in 2024\, the Upper Waitematā Coastal Clean up is coming to a shoreline near you in 2025.  Join us as we try to beat the 20m³ of rubbish\, 25 tyres and 340 volunteer hours we clocked up last year.  Every piece of litter you help pull out is one less piece finding its way out to our beautiful ocean. \n\n\n\nThis isn’t your typical coastal litter pick\, you will be in the muddy bits where the rubbish collects\, off the beaten track and seeing bits of Auckland you probably don’t normally see.  Don’t expect white sands! As a result\, we need to ensure that all children 15 years old and under MUST have adult supervision\, they won’t be able to take part without it.  Children are welcome to join us\, of course\, they just need a participating adult with them. We ask that you keep your 4 legged friends at home as well please. \n\n\n\nWe’ll provide you with gloves and buckets and a sausage sizzle to say thanks but please come dressed to get muddy and wet – we’ll go ahead unless there really is severe weather that makes it unsafe.  Shoes will get stuck and socks will get muddy so gumboots are highly recommended.   \n\n\n\nWith limited capacity at each site\, we ask that you register for the location you would like to join us at and we’ll be in touch with further information.  Things are kept a bit vague so we make sure we have the right equipment for the number of people booked.  Do get in touch with Rachael at uwen.manager@gmail.com if you would like to book in a large group or find out if a site is suitable as some sites will have better accessibility than others.
