Spring Clean Scotland: working together to Keep Scotland Beautiful


Listen Later

In this episode we chat to Heather McLaughlin from Keep Scotland Beautiful, about  Spring Clean Scotland, the campaign which brings together people from across Scotland to tackle the litter emergency.

We hear how this initiative rallies communities, schools, business and individuals to clean up and look after their local areas. She shares invaluable tips for taking part in, or organising, impactful clean-up events, the critical importance of data collection in driving policy change, and the need for a cultural shift to sustain environmental action all year round.

Then join us on the banks of the River Tay as we chat with Ross Dempster of Beyond Adventure, who reveals how initiatives like recycling, litter picking and carbon offsetting are integrated into their outdoor activities business. He shares stories of local cleanups, explains the benefits to both wildlife and individuals from volunteering in nature, and emphasises the ongoing need for community involvement in preserving Scotland's landscapes.
