Tarka Trail & Estuary Clean Up 2025

Businesses Wanted: Join Us for the 2025 Tarka Trail & Estuary Clean-Up


📅 Friday 26th September | 🧹 World Clean-Up Day Action | 📍 North Devon

We’re gearing up once again for our annual Tarka Trail & Estuary Clean-Up and we’re inviting local businesses and organisations to step forward and take part in a one-day collective effort to tidy up one of North Devon’s most well-loved public spaces.

Taking place on Friday 26th September 2025 as part of World Clean-Up Day, this event is a chance for teams to come together, get outside, and give back—all while making a visible difference in the community.

A Day for Doing Good

This event is designed for CSR days, team building or company-wide environmental pledges. Whether you're a small team or a large organisation, we can help you take on a manageable section of the trail and estuary with full support from us—including kits, guidance, and light coordination.

It’s a fantastic way to:

• Strengthen team connection

• Demonstrate your company values in action

• Take part in a global movement for cleaner, healthier spaces

Ready to Get Involved?

We’d love to hear from local businesses and organisations who’d like to take part in this year’s clean-up. Whether you’ve joined us before or are new to the event, we’ll make it easy to get involved.

We're also offering a flexible sponsorship package which includes: the Tarka Trail & Estuary Clean Up in September, our Day of Action in January, and our ongoing community cleans throughout the year.

2024 in Numbers

Last year’s clean-up was a huge success, with:

• 100 volunteers

• From 12 local businesses and organisations

• Collecting over 650kg of rubbish

• Along 10.6 miles of trail and estuary edge between Chivenor and Bideford

Among the mix: a bike wheel, garden fork, three Crocs (yes, the shoes), a car stereo and, unsurprisingly, heaps of plastic bottles, cans, and fishing debris.

Let’s make 2025 our biggest and boldest clean-up yet and show what North Devon’s business community can achieve together.
