📅 Friday 18th Sept 🧹 World Clean-Up Day Action 📍 North Devon

We're gearing up for our annual Tarka Trail & Estuary Clean-Up, and we're inviting local businesses and organisations to join us for a one-day effort to tidy up one of north Devon's best-loved public spaces (you choose the part you’d like to clean up).

Last year, 130+ volunteers from businesses and organisations across northern Devon collected 76 bags of waste (435kg!) in a single day. Data that fed straight into national lobbying efforts with Surfers Against Sewage and the Marine Conservation Society. This year, we want to go further.

It's a great fit for CSR days, team building, or company pledges — any size team, any section of the trail, full kit and support provided by us. A brilliant way to strengthen your team, live out your values, and join a global clean-up movement.

Ready to get involved? We'll make it easy, whether you're new or returning. Ask about our flexible sponsorship package, covering this event, our January Day of Action, and community cleans all year.

2025 in Numbers

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

  • 130 volunteers

  • From 31 local businesses and organisations

  • Collecting over 435kg of rubbish

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

Let’s make 2026 our biggest and boldest clean-up yet and show what North Devon’s business community can achieve together.
