Some jolly good work from our River Litter Picking team last weekend - 40 bags collected over the weekend. Plus a trolley, a tyre, a very long pipe and various bits of scrap metal. A big thank you to the LOPC team, the scouts and our alternative education group for all their hard work. 192 bags in total so far this year! Here's to a greener, cleaner future!!

*News Soars in*

Leicester Outdoor Pursuits Centre has just adopted part of the River Soar. This is part of a partnership agreement with the Canal and Rivers Trust to actively help look after the section from Belgrave Lock to Birstal Lock.
As part of this we will be carrying on our efforts with the River Litter Pick Team and also help to control invasive species such as Himalayan Balsam and Floating Pennywort.
