Trash Free Trails

We're now supported by the People's Postcode Lottery! Kickstarting one week with new funder news is amazing - but two weeks in a row! We're in disbelief. A tremendous to the Postcode Community Trust for choosing to support #TrashFreeTrails and our work with local communities across the UK. It's an honour to have them join us as a Strategic Partner. #JoinTheTrashMob 📸 Rich Baybutt 🙏 to our partners Trek Bicycle, Bosch eBike Systems, The North Face x EOCA European Outdoor Conservation Association, Red Bull, komoot, ORBEA and People's Postcode Lottery

Chris Boardman CBE and the Pedal for Paris team joined us at Northampton Bike Park with Community Hub, Ride Northampton to learn about our work and take part in a trail clean. Mike Tindall and James Haskell were really excited to remove single-use pollution too! The Pedal for Paris journey is celebrating organisations nationwide focusing on sport and sustainability.

What's next for our #CitizenScience Communities? 💭 We wrapped on the Citizen Science Training Tour last week, finishing up in East London with running community Camino Ultra. Check out these unreal shots by Danny Easton 😮💨 So what's next for these incredible 9 communities? They're now trained up and kitted out for a two year study of their local wild places. They'll be monitoring the prevalence, composition and impacts of single-use pollution, and noting over time how that SUP is affecting flora and fauna. We can't wait to share more of what they get up to over the next two years! #JoinTheTrashMob 🙏 to our partners The North Face x EOCA European Outdoor Conservation Association, Bosch eBike Systems, Bangor University, Trek Bicycle, Red Bull, komoot and ORBEA
