Spring Beach Clean - Severn Estuary

Join us for the Severn Estuary Spring Beach Clean, part of the Marine Conservation Society annual Severn Estuary Spring Clean, cleaning up the severn estuary catchment from March 13th - 29th (Severn Estuary Spring Clean 2026 – Severn Estuary Partnership)

Every year local communities help to improve the health of the Severn Estuary through the Spring Clean. It's a great way to support wildlife, reduce plastic pollution and prevent litter from reaching our waters. No matter if it's collecting from paths or along the coast, every small action has a big impact. All tools and recording equipment provided, join us for low tide.

This is the final event in our Lide &  Seek programme for March, help to seek out the rubbish and support nature and the planet!

What to wear/bring:

Please check the weather forecast for the day and come equipped for all that an English early spring day at the beach can bring.  Suitable footwear, warm clothing, a hat and rain coat/trousers if needed. Please also bring a snack and a drink if required for the duration of the event.
