Trash Free Trails is an environmental non-profit organisation, with a mission to reduce litter on our trails and wild places by 75% by 2025 and re-connect people to nature by empowering community led trail stewardship.
The Autumn Litter Watch, taking place between October 23rd-31st, is seeing Trash Free Trails’ TRASHMOB ambassador team come together, in regional ‘Covid crews’, at iconic trails across the world for the first ever live and globally interactive weekend of DIY trail protection action!
“Far more than ‘just another litter-pick’ the Autumn Litter Watch is about fully immersing ourselves in our trails and wild places, enabling us to learn much more about the state of our trails. The awesome thing about our digital community is that we don’t have to be together to work together and, by joining forces online to share stories from activities such as our ‘TFT x Muc-Off #TrashOff Challenge’ and Trash Species Tracker, we can make a massive difference!” - Dom Ferris, Founder and director of Trash Free Trails
This Collection is designed to give you some inspiration for seeking out trails and wild places near you. Of course these are just a few ideas; you can take part in the Autumn Litter Watch wherever you like. Make sure you check the latest government guidelines before you head out, especially if travelling to areas away from home.
Find out more about how you can get involved, tag @trashfreetrails to share your purposeful adventures with us in komoot and submit your trash data at trashfreetrails.org/autumn-litter-watch
