Keep Scotland Beautiful calls for volunteers to help record litter along the Tay

With 80% of marine litter coming from land, much of it traveling to the sea via rivers, environmental charity Keep Scotland Beautiful is urging people to come forward to help record data on the types and volumes of litter which could end up in the River Tay.

As part of the award-winning campaign Upstream Battle – which is active on the River Clyde and the River Tay - volunteers from Tayside are being sought to complete a 100m litter survey on a stretch of path or beach next to the River Tay or a waterway that feeds into it and upload the results to an online portal.

All those who submit data before the 16 May 2022 will be entered into a prize draw to win a paddleboarding experience for two on the River Tay with either Wild Shore, Dundee or Willowgate Activity Centre, Perthshire. Both outdoor experience providers are Upstream Battle Anchor Groups – volunteers which have committed to support the campaign with surveys and litter picks.
