Last week the Byford EnviroLink ( BEL)spent some time removing litter and cotton bush from Public Open Space between Briggs Road and Sarsaparilla Ramble in the Marri Grove area of Byford.
Over 20 bags of rubbish were collected which contained fast food and beverage waste and household dumping.
Many large items were removed from the creek including bicycles, plastic toys, an office chair, a pushchair and a water tank stand.
A 3 metre plastic swimming pool car tyres and other vehicle parts were removed from the bush land. A car engine was too large to remove by hand.
Piles of lawn clipping were deposited around the area and against neighbouring fences.
As Public open space diminishes in Byford this area should be more appreciated. Whilst we were there the trees were full of red-tailed black cockatoos which are one of WA’s iconic species and are classed as vulnerable.
The BEL group meets at reserves and open spaces around Byford every Friday from 8-9 am.

This is a very informal group and there is no obligation to attend every week.
