Organising a clean up is a great way to bring people together, help our environment and make a difference by keeping your little part of New Zealand litter free. If you’re interested in organising a clean up event we have a range of programmes that you can get involved in – from corporate team building and facilitated events to citizen science programmes where you can clean up an area in your local community, collect data and contribute to our national database. Citizen Science Our citizen science programmes are a great way for you to get involved, collaborate and contribute to the solution whilst gaining experience in data collection and analysis. We have two citizen science programmes to choose from: Upstream Battle: Our Upstream Battle citizen science programme gets volunteers out collecting and auditing litter at key upstream sites, such as beside rivers, lakes and streams to help create a better understanding of the root causes of ocean pollution. Backyard Battle: Our Backyard Battle citizen science programme gets volunteers out collecting litter at key inland sites, such as public recreational spaces, highways and railways, car parks, residential, retail and industrial sites to help create a better understanding of litter’s pathway across our land.
