Are you ‘Itchen’ to get back out and help tidy the river?

Saturday 30th October 2021 10am-2pm 

Chessel Bay should be an excellent habitat for nature, but is also strewn with rubbish - much of which is plastic, brought by the tides - which is not only unsightly but dangerous for wildlife. There are big things happening with projects to help reduce ‘nurdle’ and other local pollution here - but litter-picks are still an important part of the overall efforts - especially as we have been unable to run large events for a couple of years now! 

If you would like to come and help with our ‘Autumn-Clean’ at Chessel Bay, it would greatly improve the habitat for the wildlife which depends on the Nature Reserve. So, we hope to see you there. 

Help to ‘turn the tide’ on plastic pollution at Chessel Bay! 

Chessel Bay is situated at the end of Quayside Rd, S018 1DP, near Bitterne Manor School. Please wear old clothes. Under 16s need to be accompanied by a responsible adult. 

N.B. Parking is very restricted and there are no toilets on site.
