Help give Fenland a spring clean this March!
Community litter picks organised as part of a national clean-up campaign are among the events being held by Fenland's amazing Street Pride groups throughout March.
Street Pride volunteers will be getting their litter pickers at the ready when Keep Britain Tidy's annual Great British Spring Clean swings into action from 15 - 31 March.
There's also a host of other meetings, events and work parties being held by volunteers across the district - and everyone is invited to get involved!

About Street Pride
Street Pride is a long-running and well-loved community initiative set up and supported by Fenland District Council to help volunteers make a difference to their local environment.
There are currently 17 Street Pride groups across the district - many of which have been running for more than a decade. Many groups also work with local schools and businesses who share a passion for cleaner, greener and more vibrant communities.
Volunteers of all ages and backgrounds are encouraged to get involved, whether you're a seasoned environmentalist or looking to try something new.
It offers a fulfilling way to give something back to the community while keeping active, enjoying the great outdoors and meeting like-minded individuals.
