Removing single-use pollution from a place you care about is good for you and for your wild places.

​

But what would you feel if you found your trails trash free?

We're working to make this a reality, and we need YOUR HELP to do it. Report the trash you remove to the State of Our Trails Report, and help us create a Trash Free Future.

Our Ambassadors and Community Hubs have joined forces to host a heap of trail cleans around the UK this autumn - find one near you and sign up!

It's Competition Time!

If pumpkin carvings not your thing, but you still want to get your hands dirty this Autumn, then check out the competition we have running from now until October 31st!

How to Survey Your Trash!

Follow these 3 simple steps for a safe and rewarding trail clean.

 REMOVE 

Remove! Get out there and remove any single-use pollution you find.

 

We recommend wearing gloves, using a picker if you have one. Be wary of glass and sharp objects.

 REPORT 

Report! Submit your trash data through our simple survey.

 REWARD 

Now you've done your bit, reward yourself. Whether it's a slice of cake, a couple of laps, you've earned it!

Why do we want to know what you find?

We know there's up to 24 times more trash on our trails than in our oceans, but there's next to no research being done to understand exactly how much, and the impact it's having on our wild places.

​

We're harnessing your trail clean data to tell the story of our trails, to push for better protection of these places that are vital to our health and wellbeing. We do this through the State of Our Trails Report.
