A reminder to all volunteers that Beach Buddies will return to action again on Sunday (April 7th) at Smeale beach, meeting at the far car park, alongside the wooden walkway to the beach for a 10.30am start.
Beach Buddies will supply all necessary equipment, including litterpickers, gloves and bin bags and will arrange recycling of all metal, plastic and glass and the disposal of all other litter collected. Volunteers should wear sturdy boots and wear warm clothing, as the cold spell clearly isn't yet over!
It is also important for volunteers to be aware that Smeale is one of the Isle of Man's most important nesting areas for a variety of seabirds which are in the process of creating nests for the spring, despite the very cold recent weather. Beach Buddies' volunteers are asked to be especially careful when clearing rubbish from above the high water mark.

Directions to Smeale can be found on the "Beach Buddies Isle of Man" Facebook page.
