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.
