Lots of action up at Kinleith this morning. Whilst the @Edinburgh_CC forestry team removed large logs from the river, we sprayed for Giant Hogweed, removed litter from the banks and trimmed back the walkway edges to maintain the width. All before the rain arrived ๐ ๐

Let the dandelions grow! They support over 50 insects species, and are a great early season food source for pollinators like bees, butterflies, hoverflies. No need to mow and ps don't use weedkiller. More: https://t.co/LTHoexLYQs RT if you're on board ๐ https://t.co/hAZopuR1pt

Back to reality with a bump this morning. If you are going to go to the effort of having a BBQ on the beach can you also make some effort to take your mess home again? ๐ 7 bags tidied up this morning. It was mostly drink and BBQ related. #loveirvinebeach #leavenotrace

Assisted by my fellow picker Bob, we got the 19 collected bags off the East shore. Using our buggy and barrow, we got 25 bags, 3 gas bottles, and 6 tyres back to collection point. Spongebob was found too. #Dumbdumpers #Dontbeatosser #KeepScotlandclean

PLEASE DON'T.... flick your cigarette butts into a drain. This pollutes the drinking water, and runs into a river, washes up in the sea, and often ends up inside a fish - and onto someone's plate....๐คฎ๐

Down to Redbraes this morning for our volunteers, finally in some sunshine to clean up, tidy path sections and conduct a @Riverflies survey.

After the Council pulled out of the Marchmont LTN, the pressure is on to make sure Leith LTN stays - or is improved - and is not scrapped due to who can shout loudest on social media.

This was one little walk (work commute), last week. Shocking, but what a win on the #litter #lottery! @cleanupbritain @KeepBritainTidy . Urgent need for #depositreturnscheme which would have significantly reduced my haul! ๐

100 Earthcleanup bags of Litter now removed from Clearwater's Stevenson creek since Nov 30th. For whatever reason, there were numerous aluminum cans floating around today. 25 to be exact, & 3 of those were housing hermit crabs๐ฆ. Had to cut one of the cans open to set him free๐
