Draw off litter pick 2024

About

Join us for a fun foreshore litter pick on the Thames on Saturday, 9 November 2024! Drop by anytime between 12 pm and 3 pm to help clean up the river during low tide!

We will provide the litter picking equipment. Please dress appropriately for the weather with warm and waterproof clothing. PLEASE WEAR WELLINGTON BOOTS AND OLD CLOTHES – the foreshore can be very muddy and the Thames mud stains clothes! Please note that under 18s must be accompanied by an adult.

This is a free annual event we run to coincide with the Draw Off, when the weir at Richmond Lock is lifted for maintenance, allowing the river between Richmond and Teddington locks to drain down at low tide. When the river drains down lots of litter will be left on the foreshore, giving us the perfect opportunity to remove it.
