Great British Beach Clean Source to Sea, is an exciting project from the Marine Conservation Society (MCS) taking place across the UK between Friday 18th and Friday 25th September 2020. This year, MCS are taking the learning inland, local and online, so you can get involved wherever you are. There are exciting FREE opportunities for schools and other youth groups (5 to 18 years) to learn, have fun, connect with others and discover more about the highly topical issues of littering, plastics and the impact of our throw-away society. Get involved... we certainly will be :)
