Check the weather and tide information for Saturday below. Dress according to the conditions expected but be sure to wrap up well and bring a waterproof jacket - just in case! Sunscreen is advisable. Sturdy footwear and thick socks are essential and rubber boots are always a good idea.
Please try to persuade a friend or a family member to join you. The more volunteers we have, the greater the amount of work that we can do.
I hope to see you all on Saturday.
