BIG Green Canal Clean

Friday 27 February 2026, 2pm - 4pm

About this event

BOOK HERE 

As part of Climate Action Week 2026, it's time to get outdoorsy and make a difference while having a blast. We're talking litter picking, vegetation management, and we'll clean up the canal too. We're throwing in free hot chocolate and popcorn for all you awesome volunteers!

So, what's the plan?

You'll be part of tight-knit squads, armed with sweep nets, snatching up litter like a pro, and getting those plants in check along the canal edges.

You must sign up here to take part

 

Dress code?

Keep it chill and easy to move around in, as it could be warm! bring a jumper just in case of bad weather and rain. We got your back with High-Vis jackets, gloves, and all the gear you need to make this cleanup epic.

 

Rendezvous point? 

Students' Union Hub reception area 1:50PM, otherwise we'll see you down by Resi-life and the Canal for 2:00PM, just look for the high-vis!
