Dovedale Big Litter Pick
Join us for a few hours at Dovedale and get your steps in, picking litter along the valley so the National Nature Reserve remains a great place for nature and people alike.
- Booking essential
- Free event
Want to make a difference on your doorstep, join us at Dovedale National Nature Reserve on one of our event days from 9am-12pm for a big group litter pick. We'll provide all the equipment and information you need to litter pick safely. You'll work with one of our rangers or another volunteer, and head off on a litter picking hunt to help clear the nature reserve of rubbish and make it great a place for both nature and people. We'll give you an area to focus on, depending on how much time you have and whether you'd prefer to stick to the valley bottom or want a more adventurous route up into the hills.
