As part of our Scout community week we removed all the rubbish out of the Fairy Glen river along Beach road in Old Colwyn.
This is something that we normally do once or twice a year. The river and surrounding park is a beautiful area within Old Colwyn but unfortunately it gets all sorts of rubbish tangled up along the river banks. We go through the river picking up all the litter and rubbish that has gathered over the several months. This year we have removed several bags of rubbish including an old bike and lots of plastic bottles!
We chose to tidy this stretch of river as it is runs passed our Scout hut on Beach Road, and as we often enjoy the surrounding park it seems only fair that we get involved with making sure it remains clean and tidy. Although the water was a little cold last Tuesday night the Scouts had a great time clearing the river and it is one of the many activities that we get involved with.
8 year old Cub Nathaniel said "It was lots of fun and good to do something to tidy up. I really liked getting wet!".
