Anglers Against Litter
Protecting Gilling Beck includes dealing with the everyday litter that can harm wildlife, livestock and the river environment.
Leave the beck better than you found it
GWFF supports the Angling Trust's Anglers Against Litter campaign. Members routinely pick up litter while fishing or walking the beck and also support wider litter-picking activities where possible.
Plastic, fishing line, cans and broken glass can injure wildlife and livestock and spoil the river environment. A few minutes spent collecting litter makes a real difference.
What members can do
Pick up what you safely can
If you find ordinary litter on the bank, taking it away helps protect the beck immediately.
Be careful with hazards
Do not handle needles, chemicals, broken glass or other hazardous waste without suitable protection.
Report larger problems
Fly-tipping or significant pollution should be reported to the appropriate authority and to Club Admin.
