Keswick Trail Clean with Keen & Ellis Brigham!

This June we are collaborating with Ellis Brigham & Keen on a series of clean-ups to get people outdoors and raising awareness of responsible hiking whilst cleaning up the trails.

Join us for our finale trail clean - a citizen science expedition on the hills around Keswick in the Lake District!

Gain firsthand experience of how you can remove, record and report vital data on terrestrial pollution, all while enjoying one of the UK's most beloved national parks. Powered by Trash Free Trails’ innovative research into single-use pollution, The State of Our Trails Report, help us protect the trails that host us this autumn and learn how to be a Citizen Scientist!

What to Expect

We'll meet at 10:45am at the Ellis Brigham Store before hosting a briefing at 11am. Here we'll explain everything you need to know about our unique trail cleaning method, and equip you with all the kit to become a Citizen Scientist for the day!

We'll be sure to stop for breaks and lunch, and to pick up any single-use pollution we find along the way!

Back at the store we'll do a total count celebration, give out some goodies for the best finds, and share more about what happens next with the data we've collected.

You do not need to have any experience of trail cleaning or litter picking to join this event.

Please come in appropriate outdoor clothing and shoes. Bring plenty of layers including waterproofs.

Please come with enough water to be out on the hills all day, snacks and packed lunch.
