The Great Nurdle Hunt, Forvie NNR, Aberdeenshire
Fri 7th October 2022 10:30-12:30.
Join Turning the Plastic Tide and Scottish Wildlife Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire local members on a nurdle hunt and beach clean.
Nurdles are tiny pellets that are used to make many types of plastic. These pellets often wash up on our shores and cause huge environmental damage. Join us as we take part in a global citizen science project, The Great Nurdle Hunt, and search for and record any nurdles found on one of our local beaches on Forvie NNR.
The community event, organised by Turning the Plastic Tide and Scottish Wildlife Trust Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire Group, will run for two hours, when we will also help with a beach clean. Join us for 15 minutes or two hours to help tackle the plastic pollution in our local environment.
Equipment, including gloves and litter pickers, will be provided on the day. Please bring suitable clothing and a warm drink with you. All young people under sixteen must be accompanied.
More information will be sent out to attendees nearer the time.
