Drummoyne Scouts Clean Up - North Head, Sydney Harbour National Park - Sun 4th

Members of Drummoyne Scouts will be earning their Community Service Award by completing clean up activities at Collins Beach and Store Beach on North Head in the Sydney Harbour National Park. The scouts will be making a valuable contribution to the Sydney Harbour environment by removing harmful rubbish. Debris washed up on the beach not only detracts from the beauty of the Harbour but can also harm wildlife: plastic bags can be lethal when swallowed by marine mammals. The scouts will be working with a Ranger from the National Parks and Wildlife Service to ensure that their contribution has a positive environmental outcome.
