Would you like to take part in the Big Yr Wyddfa Clear up?

Last year the Snowdonia Society teamed up with the BMC, Trash Free Trails, the National Park Authority and Plantlife to run the Big Yr Wyddfa Clear up, a truly extreme clear up event to rid the mountain of as much litter as possible, including the ‘waterfall’ of trash which has been stuck for decades in the steep and hazardous Trinity Gullies.

This year we are hoping to recruit more volunteers, cover more of the upper Glaslyn bowl, and remove more single use pollution, and we’re going slab bang in the middle of the holidays to engage with as many members of the public as possible.

When?

• Training day – Friday 1st August
• Main Cleaning day – Saturday 2nd August

This year we will be running the event over two days, the first day will be a training day which will allow us to ensure that all of our volunteers are aware of the Arctic Alpine Species we are hoping to protect, have been introduced and experience the surveying technique, and have hopefully had a learning experience of other projects underway in Eryri National Park. This way. we can start Saturday by heading straight up the mountain to begin the work. There’s more about the event on the BMC website.

As this is a partnership event, a limited number of spaces have been reserved for volunteers from the Snowdonia Society. Would you like to take part? If so, please simply email director@snowdonia-society.org.uk saying you would like to take part. But hurry, we’ll allocate the available places on a first come, first served basis.
