The Friends of Therfield Heath and Greens Litter Pick 

Villagers from Kelshall are invited to volunteer at the monthly litter picks on Therfield Heath. Help to protect the natural beauty of this amazing area that is located on our doorstep. 

The monthly litter picks usually start by meeting at the tennis courts between 9.30-10.30am to collect rubbish bags and litter pickers and are usually finished by noon, at the latest. Hand in your equipment and collect a voucher for a free hot or soft drink from the Heath Cafe to be used that day. 

The previous litter pick took place on Sunday 12th March so please keep checking back here to find out the April date.
