Cleaning up 136 kilometres of rubbish – will you join us?

News, selection

Walk of Wisdom by Thomas Hontelez
Litter action Waal Thomas Hontelez

Litter picking connects people from all walks of life: walkers or not. More and more people are cleaning up a part of the Netherlands on their own and sign up for a free litter package via Nederland Schoon (link). Many municipalities even provide free litter grabbers (Google free litter grabber and your municipality).

We want to take a few special steps on September 18 at 10:00 a.m., no less than 136 real green kilometers. Together with pilgrims, host families, volunteers and sympathizers, we want to pick up litter on and around our 136-kilometre route. This makes the connection between man and nature beautifully visible and allows us to maintain the beautiful landscape around Nijmegen. Will you join us?

Sign up: link.

Our route has the shape of a pigeon, which we would like to set in motion that day. We are therefore looking for several meeting points along the route. Mail [email protected].

In Nijmegen, Beuningen, Berg en Dal, Druten, Heumen and Mook-Molenhoek you can get a free litter grabber and bags or gloves via Dar Wijkhelden: link.
