Litter picks
Be considerate
If you are working on parks, in the country, in open spaces or in woodland, avoid disturbing animals and plants, particularly during nesting season.
Keep gates closed and avoid clearing natural 'rubbish' like stones, logs and weeds, they may look untidy but they may be home to animals and birds.
Before the litter pick you may wish to seek advice about potential impacts on wildlife from the South Tyneside Council Ecology Team at 0191 424 7423 or email countryside@southtyneside.gov.uk.
