ASCENSION BEACH CLEAN-UP

Sunday 22^nd November

The Conservation Department is organising an Island-wide beach clean-up for Sunday 22^nd November from 10 am to noon. This is an annual event, undertaken in cooperation with personnel from the USAF and RAF bases, and comprises a sweep of each of the main beaches to remove any litter or encroaching vegetation.

We would like as many members of the public to join us and help ensure that the beaches are in prime condition for the start of the turtle nesting season. Following the event, as an added incentive, there will be a BBQ and refreshments.

If you would like to help preserve your local environment and protect the turtles that we hold so dear, please call in or contact the Conservation Dept., x6359 for further details.
