Today saw the local litter picking group out on a schedule pick on part of Cefn Sidan to the west of Pembrey Country Park, they were joined by 8 staff from AMEY, on a corporate volunteer day, (arranged through Keep Wales Tidy) they kindly brought along some ATV's and trailers, as well as CCC staff.

AMEY team getting stuck in

We couldn't get on to the part of the beach inside the military Air Weapons Range as they were expecting fighter jets in for target practise.

Hard to see in the photo but the difference between

uncleared (back LH side) and cleared beach

The team covered about 2miles? of beach clearing a few tonnes of marine bourn litter from the beach, this is a stretch unsuitable for the Strandline Beetle, which will be in hibernation at this time of year, but anyway there was little in the way of large pieces of plastic to clear.

The end result has clearly improved the aesthetic of the beach, coupled with the weekend of volunteering by members of staff and the general public a few weeks ago a real improvement, sadly for how long?

A job well done, but plenty more to do....... THANKS EVERYONE
