People are invited to take part in the Great Cumbrian Litter Pick this month.
Organised by conservation charity Friends of the Lake District, it takes place on Friday November 18 and Saturday November 19.
Last year, 75 litter picks took place as part of the event and people collected over 500 bags of rubbish.
Friends of the Lake District said: “We hope to continue this amazing effort this year and to bring people together to take community action for a cleaner Cumbria.
“At the end of 2020, following the surge in litter during lockdown, we commissioned Keep Britain Tidy to undertake research into why people litter and recommending actions that we can trial to influence behaviour change.
“There’s no quick and easy solution to the litter problem but while we work on ways to educate and communicate more widely and effectively to change behaviours, there is something that we can do right away; and that’s to get out there and clean up.”
