Join the Big RiverLight Clean Up

The RiverLight festival is returning to Sleaford on the 21st of October bringing the town together to celebrate the beautiful river Slea, an important part of the history of Sleaford as a town. Most importantly this blue space provides vital habitat for a great number of species including Kingfisher, Water Vole, and Otters.

Following this year’s festivities, the River Slea Clean-Up Group and Plastic Free Sleaford are coming together to put on a litter pick to prevent any litter from entering the river Slea. 80% of the litter in the sea starts out on land, being blown into rivers and waterways before washing out into the ocean.

Take positive action by joining the Big RiverLight Clean Up!

Join this family friendly litter pick on Sunday 22nd October. Simply show up at Eastgate Green, in front of The Hub, at 10am for equipment and instructions. Please dress for the weather and wear study footwear, if you have a pair of gardening gloves please bring them along.
