Volunteers of the Sandals Foundation, Grenada Fund for Conservation (GFC) and the Youth Emergency Action Committee (YEAC) embarked on a mangrove clean up activity last Saturday in observance of the upcoming World Wetlands Day (WWD) on February 2.<\/p>\n

In activating this year\u2019s theme, \u201cWetlands Action for People and Nature,\u201d the group of 35 volunteers removed garbage in areas closest to the observation tower at the Woburn mangrove site covering just over 0.25km. Within 2 hours, the volunteers retrieved 27 bags of garbage and piles of bulky items such as tires, one mini-fridge, one television, fencing and other household items, as well as electronics and building materials.<\/p>\n
