Four people signed up for this and as it is a task that can be done at any time and anywhere, this report may get added to.

Paul and Adi had a common feature on their Lewisham litter picking - Egyptian geese, but that's as far as the similarities went. Adi was in Sydenham's.Mayow Park where not much litter was found but lots of Christmas trees, a few of which were moved to their collection point (a traditional GoodGym activity.

Paul was in Deptford's Brookmill Park where high waters on the Ravensbourne due to rain had brought lots litter downstream - there was more litter collected than there had been for several months. In other news there the more herons this week and the youngster has survived the freezing temperatures.

Georgina collected some rubbish near Pool River in Sydenham. It was very wet but she persevered and picked up a lot in 30 minutes.

The first Lewisham litter pick of the new year had same the same participants and same locations as much of the the last year. Adi was in Sydenham's Mayow Park picking up debris from New Year's revelries - cans, bottles and spent fireworks.

Paul was in Deptford's Brookmill Park, alongside the Ravensbourne. Heavy frosts had killed off most of the remaining nettles so there were lots of cans and bottles that were now accessible. More litter was collected than for several months - around 3 black sacks full. There was also a lot of activity on the herons' nest - with a tiny head and beak peering out and probably at least one more youngster that was more reticent about being seen.
