This annual riverbank cleanup is coming up on Saturday 7 May, 10am-12 noon. It is a city-wide effort which covers three areas (Opawaho-Heathcote River, Otakaro-Avon River, and the Estuary) and last year collected more than 400 bags of rubbish. This keeps the river safer and more attractive.

The BNA helps with a short section of this, on the west bank through Farnley Reserve and along Palatine Terrace. All helpers welcome, just bring a pair of gloves and the rest is organised.

Meet at 10am at Beckenham Scout Den, Centaurus Rd, beside the Brickworks.
