Chorlton Wombles can’t stand the litter that they find in places like the Chorlton Ees, Chorlton Park, the meadows, etc. They aim to hold one litter pick per month. Litter pickers and hoops are provided, just bring gloves and dress for the weather. There’ll be a free drink at the Bowling Green when the wombling’s done.
Picks are usually the second Sunday of the month, but do check the Facebook group before leaving home, as wombling can be affected by bad weather.
Meet at 11am, Chorlton Ees Car Park.
