Lots of action up at Kinleith this morning. Whilst the @Edinburgh_CC forestry team removed large logs from the river, we sprayed for Giant Hogweed, removed litter from the banks and trimmed back the walkway edges to maintain the width. All before the rain arrived 😀 😀

Save the dates! Our next events will be: 🐝 Sun 23rd June, at Gyle Park (joint event with the Friends of GP) 🐞 Sun 7th July, at Drumbrae Park 🌻 Sun 21st July, at East Craigs All 11 to 12, we provide the equipment! Further details soon! #ClermistonLitterati #LitterHeroes

Unblocking of Bernard Street bridge complete with the removal of a fine lengthed log. Thanks to the volunteers for their hard work. Clean up of the plastic waste next week at our monthly clean up @Edinburgh_CC @SOSLeith @forthports

Let the dandelions grow! They support over 50 insects species, and are a great early season food source for pollinators like bees, butterflies, hoverflies. No need to mow and ps don't use weedkiller. More: bitly.com/2FYQUhp RT if you're on board 🐝

Back to reality with a bump this morning. If you are going to go to the effort of having a BBQ on the beach can you also make some effort to take your mess home again? 🙄 7 bags tidied up this morning. It was mostly drink and BBQ related. #loveirvinebeach #leavenotrace

Woops, nearly forgot, Clermiston Litterati invite one and all to a litterpick tomorrow at Duart Crescent, Drumbrae Meet at 11 at the shops for an hour of fun, exercise, and a lovely warm feeling of doing something nice for the community, and for the environment!! 💚

Assisted by my fellow picker Bob, we got the 19 collected bags off the East shore. Using our buggy and barrow, we got 25 bags, 3 gas bottles, and 6 tyres back to collection point. Spongebob was found too. #Dumbdumpers #Dontbeatosser #KeepScotlandclean #SpringCleanScotland

PLEASE DON'T.... flick your cigarette butts into a drain. This pollutes the drinking water, and runs into a river, washes up in the sea, and often ends up inside a fish - and onto someone's plate....🤮🐟

Down to Redbraes this morning for our volunteers, finally in some sunshine to clean up, tidy path sections and conduct a @Riverflies survey.

After the Council pulled out of the Marchmont LTN, the pressure is on to make sure Leith LTN stays - or is improved - and is not scrapped due to who can shout loudest on social media.

39 OF LLP A bin bag of litter collected amongst a large fly-tip location-it will be reported to the council! Please reuse and dispose of waste responsibly!Together we can make a difference!💚🌎♻️🚯 ⬇️YOU CAN SPONSOR MY LITTER PICK ⬇️ gofundme.com/f/lent-litter-…

Thank you all for your messages asking how I am. I’m recovering well thank you 🐾 short lead walks allowed now. It was so nice to be back beach hugging today. #litterpck #Beachhug #MakingADifference @2minuteHQ @KeepBritainTidy

Rummaging in the #hedgerow again & 6 bags filled. 115 drinks cans, traffic cone, angle grinder blade, gloves, lots of bottles; one with a poor dead 🐭 trapped inside ☹, frying pan & a bag of paint cans #lovewhereyoulive #ButtercupLeys @LitterReporting @KeepBritainTidy

This was one little walk (work commute), last week. Shocking, but what a win on the #litter #lottery! @cleanupbritain @KeepBritainTidy . Urgent need for #depositreturnscheme which would have significantly reduced my haul! 💚

100 Earthcleanup bags of Litter now removed from Clearwater's Stevenson creek since Nov 30th. For whatever reason, there were numerous aluminum cans floating around today. 25 to be exact, & 3 of those were housing hermit crabs🦀. Had to cut one of the cans open to set him free👋
