The Ski Club of Great Britain’s annual resort clear up, the Big Spring Clean, returns to Scottish ski resorts for a fourth year on Sunday 12 June. This year volunteers will not only be tackling the damaging litter left on the slopes by mountains users at CairnGorm Mountain and the Nevis Range but also, new for 2011, at Glenshee.
Last year 122 helpers turned out to gather up litter at CairnGorm and the Nevis Range with a total of 60 bags of rubbish collected. The Ski Club works with the resorts to ensure volunteers cover areas most frequented by winter users and ensure they safely cover both marked paths and areas off the beaten track.
Big Spring Clean volunteers will meet at 10am on Sunday 12 June at the bottom of the gondola at Nevis Range, at the Ranger Base (Coire Cas) at CairnGorm or at the Base Cafe at Glenshee. Gloves and bags are provided and there will be tea and cakes for everyone who brings back a bag of litter.
