News / 2012 Da Voar Redd Up
THE 25th annual community clean up Da Voar Redd Up is to take place on 28 and 29 April, organiser Shetland Amenity Trust has said.
The trust’s Sita Goudie said that last year more than 4,300 volunteers had collected over 60 tonnes of bruck from roadside verges, beaches and coastline.
“Last year was our highest volunteer numbers to date but we would like to welcome even more volunteers for the 25th Redd Up.
“Groups which participated last year should be receiving registration forms soon. For those who have not taken part before, or individuals who would like to join a group in their area, please contact the trust for further details on how to get involved.”
Shetland Amenity Trust supplies gloves and bags for the initiative and takes away all the bruck collected.
Anyone wishing to get involved should contact the Shetland Amenity Trust on 01595 694688 or e-mail info@shetlandamenity.org
