BEACH Buddies will be staging a beach clean event at Smeale tomorrow (Sunday).
Volunteers are asked to meet at the far car park, alongside the wooden walkway to the beach, for a 10.30am start
Beach Buddies will supply all necessary equipment, including litterpickers, gloves and bin bags and will arrange recycling of all metal, plastic and glass and the disposal of all other litter collected.
Volunteers should wear sturdy boots and warm clothing as it’s likely to be chilly.
It is also important to be aware that Smeale is one of the Isle of Man’s most important nesting areas for a variety of seabirds which are in the process of creating nests for the spring, despite the very cold recent weather.
Volunteers are therefore asked to be especially careful when clearing rubbish from above the high water mark.
Directions to Smeale can be found on the Beach Buddies Isle of Man Facebook page.
