Canning: Keep Australia Beautiful stalwart puts out call for volunteers

Pia van StraalenCanning Gazette

NEXT weekend the Canning Regional Park volunteers will be picking up rubbish around the waterways as part of their 20-year commitment to Keep Australia Beautiful (KAB).

With a vision for a litter free and sustainable Australia, KAB runs annually across the country as a means of litter prevention.

Canning Regional Park Volunteers founding member Richard Stone said the event was a huge success in the region and in 2017 and he has put a call out to the community to participate this year.

“As a group we have conducted Clean up Australia Day over the past 20-plus years,” he said.

“Last year’s event was a huge success with over 100 willing workers cleaning up their local regional park.”

Mr Stone extended an invitation to the wider community to don closed in shoes, a broad brimmed hat, sunscreen and gloves this Sunday March 5 from 8:30am to help keep the park pristine.

Meet at the corner of Duff and Adenia Road, Riverton. Morning tea will be supplied.
