Glenthorne Action Team volunteers clean up Hallett Cove Conservation Park



GAT vol­un­teers start­ed the year in fine form lend­ing a hand at a near-capac­i­ty Clean up Aus­tralia Day event.


On Sun­day 1 March, 38 keen Glen­thorne Action Team vol­un­teers descend­ed on Hal­lett Cove Con­ser­va­tion Park to tidy the area as part of Clean up Aus­tralia Day.

Some vol­un­teers even came from as far as Adelaide’s north-east­ern sub­urbs to help out.

The keen vol­un­teers were split into groups and tidied the park, the beach area in front of the park, the reserve and play­ground next to the park and the area along the side of the Boat­shed Café.

They filled mul­ti­ple bags full of waste, which includ­ed cig­a­rette butts and lots of oth­er dis­card­ed items.
