Three of Okehampton’s eco-groups are urging residents to help them at a litter-picking event this Saturday (March 26) which will coincide with the Great British Spring Clean.

Volunteers from the Okement Rivers Improvement Group, Plastic Free Community and the Community Roadside Action Party have organised the event, which coincides with the national litter-picking day, and will also feature a presentation from Okehampton Primary School, St James CoE Primary School and Okehampton College pupils.

It will take place between 10am-12pm and anyone interested in attending should book a place by emailing [email protected]
