Join in the Great British Beach Clean Family event

Monday 19 September (school holiday) 10.15am-2pm

If you’d like to get some fresh air with the kids on the the Monday autumn holiday, come along with us to take part in the Great British Beach Clean at Granton!

This is a family event helping clean and monitor litter levels at the beach. We’ll have a picnic snack and beach games as well as collecting and logging litter levels at the beach (with some help from Matt at the Marine Conservation Society).

Meet at NEA at 10.15 to get the bus to Granton Harbour, returning to NEA by 2pm.

Children under 8 must be accompanied, and we would love it if you could sign up at NEA so we know who’s coming:

  • call 0131 315 2151,
  • e-mail garden@northedinburgharts.co.uk or
  • drop in to us at 15a Pennywell Court, EH4 4TZ.

An appeal from afar …

porty2… well, Portobello anyway! Fancy helping out with a beach cleanup? Then read on …

I was wondering if North Edinburgh News would consider doing a small feature on our up and coming beach clean-up at Portobello West, 10.30 Saturday 24th August 2013?

We need as many hands as possible please to clean up the beach, so everyone is welcome.

I started the group a few months back and we have regular awareness raising events, but this is the first (and not the last) of our local events to help local issues.

Thank you for your time and here are our pages, so you can see what were are up to:
