Helping rid the Thames of litter is a great way to spend time outdoors
The River Thames is one of the world’s most iconic rivers and home to an abundance of thriving wildlife, including over 100 different species of fish, more than 300,000 over wintering birds and several thousand seals. Regrettably, the last half century has also seen the river become filled with ever increasing quantities of litter.
Cleaning the Thames can connect you with like-minded people who care about making the environment a better place for everyone.
You can help even if you don’t have time to join a clean up, but find yourself picking up rubbish on your daily walk! Report your haul to help us track what litter is getting in the Thames.
