It’s about local people … helping with local issues … and benefiting our local natural environment.

Project Case Study - Peninsula Beach Stewards 2020
This project began when residents approached EcoDewi for help, concerned about lots of locals & visitors rushing to use our local beaches, as the first COVID-19 lockdown eased, and the subsequent risk of littering the had occurred elsewhere in the UK. In a few days a plan was developed, discussions took place with the County Council and other key organisations, and then the recruitment of volunteers began. A presence at Whitesands Beach began on Tuesday 14th July and an average of two volunteers a day carried out beach cleans for 51 days through the summer, with around 30 volunteers clearing approximately 84 bags of rubbish. A huge success with locals, tourists and organisations offering their gratitude to the amazing volunteers who helped keep a community favourite beach clean.
