Essex Outdoors Harlow: The Big Winter River Clean Up
Want to do your bit to help keep our countryside clean? We are looking for volunteers to help us do just that.
Come and join us for a paddle on the River Stort where we will be collecting litter from the water and along the towpath.
Canoes, paddles and buoyancy aids will be provided as well as litter pickers, gloves and bin bags.
Warm up afterwards with complimentary tea, coffee and sweet treats in our on site café.
Open to adults and young people aged eight-years-old and above.
