Businesses and Community Brave the Rain for Amroth Beach Clean
Despite persistent rain, 30 volunteers joined Pembrokeshire Coast Charitable Trust at Amroth Beach at the end of January for a successful beach clean, proving that bad weather is no barrier to protecting Pembrokeshire’s coastline.
The clean brought together local businesses including Howies, The Celtic Collection, Andrew Rees Butchers, Monddi, Penfro Consultancy, and the Field Studies Council, alongside members of the local community and staff from Pembrokeshire Coast National Park Authority.
Over the course of the afternoon, volunteers collected an impressive 12 bags of rubbish and one discarded car tyre, helping to remove harmful waste from the beach and protect local wildlife and marine habitats.
“We’re incredibly grateful to everyone who turned out in such challenging weather,” said Katie Macro, Charity Director at Pembrokeshire Coast Charitable Trust. “The enthusiasm and determination shown by volunteers and businesses really highlights how much people care about our coastline. Every bag of litter removed makes a real difference.
“Special thanks go to Kerry from Keep Wales Tidy for joining the clean and offering support on the day, as well as to Abi Marriott, Funding Officer who organised the event and Trustee Mickey who came along to support.”
Pembrokeshire Coast Charitable Trust regularly organises beach cleans and volunteering opportunities to help protect the county’s coastline, while providing a chance for people to connect with nature, give back to the environment, and work together for a cleaner, healthier Pembrokeshire.
The next beach clean will take place on Thursday 4 June, and local businesses, community groups, and volunteers are encouraged to get involved.
