A few examples of local flora

This week we returned to The Duver at St Helens for our annual litter pick of the Duver and the beach as far north as Horestone Point.  We spent the first hour of the session on the Duver. 

During tea break Mark explained that he had had to register the beach clean with the Marine Conservation Society (MCS) in order that all our rubbish could be collected (by Brighstone Landscaping).  We were also required to complete a survey of the litter collected on the beach.  Following our tea break, we conducted a survey of two 100m  sections of St Helens beach.  This information will be returned to the MCS and shared with St Helens Parish Council. 

When the surveys had been completed we continued further along the beach.  For the first time in quite a few weeks waterproofs were required as it rained on and off for most of the morning.  

Thank you to Terry for the photos.
