On Tuesday 10th March 2026 the Hyndburn’s Woodlands Volunteers were at Abbott Clough woodland carrying out a litter picking and fly-tipping removal session.
We have previously done a huge amount of work getting the roadside hedgerow cleaned up, which had accumulated a lot of rubbish from pedestrians and vehicles.
This time we focused on a small entrance to the woods which had really been hit hard by litter and fly-tipping. In total, we removed 15 large bags of rubbish, a broken laundry basket (repurposed as a glass bucket), and a large collection of miscellaneous fly-tipping (such as a bag of wood, old toaster, and a bag of pillows).
The area now looks a lot cleaner and we are very happy with the result, there is still a small amount of work left to do now (mainly odd bags of rubbish thrown into the woods and stray bits of litter).
Thank you to our incredible volunteers who help us keep Hyndburn’s Woodlands tidy!
As always, thank you to our funders at Lancashire County Council, Hyndburn Borough Council, and the Windfall Fund for making it all possible!
