SUMMARY:River Litter Detectives - Limekiln Dock
DESCRIPTION:Book your FREE place here! \nCome along and join Thames21 as a river citizen scientist on the River Thames. We will collect the litter we find and categorise it into sewage-derived litter\, plastic items\, and other types of litter. This will help us determine the quantity of litter turning up along the riverside and investigate which litter category poses the biggest problem. \nWe look forward to welcoming you to our event\, which will cover everything you need to know to carry out a litter survey or clean up with Thames21 Citizen Science Volunteer for Thames River Watch. \nBoth new and existing Thames21 volunteers are encouraged to attend and investigate plastic pollution on the Tidal Thames. \nThis event is suitable for anyone (over the age of 10 accompanied by an adult) with an interest in plastic pollution\, or those who want to help monitor and improve the River Thames. \nThis is an event designed for the community to engage the local public with the river and not for corporates. If you are interested in a bespoke corporate volunteer day. Please visit our website https://www.thames21.org.uk/get-involved-2/corporateteamdays/ \nPlease make sure you have suitable footwear (wellies or boots) and weather-appropriate clothing for the day. \nPLEASE NOTE: Access to this site involves climbing a short ladder or climbing over a flood wall. Volunteers with limited mobility may find this challenging. Please contact Felicity if you would like to learn more about this. \nIf you have any questions\, please contact Sam at samantha.dhedhi@thames21.org.uk. \nBook your place here! \n

SUMMARY:Big Wet Wipe Count
DESCRIPTION:Help protect the River Thames by measuring the impact of wet wipes deposited on its shores! \nBOOK HERE. \nJoin Thames21 to gather crucial data on the wet wipes settling in the Thames by getting down and dirty to count them! \nUntil the Thames Tideway Tunnel was connected up earlier this year\, rainfall in central London often caused the sewers to overflow\, sending hundreds of thousands of wet wipes into the river where they accumulated on the riverbed. The Big Wet Wipe Count has allowed us to record the scale of the problem\, and we are looking for volunteers to continue these surveys\, which will now help to assess the impact the tunnel. \nTo assess the scale of the problem and the impact of the tunnel\, we are looking for volunteers to survey the wet wipes on the foreshore and record the final number. \nChildren under 16 need to be supervised by an adult. This event is not suitable for children under 10 years old.  \nThis is an event designed for the community to engage the local public with the river and not for corporates. If you are interested in a bespoke corporate volunteer day.
