As part of the international Litter Less campaign, 25 schools across Scotland have been selected to receive a £200 grant to support the development and implementation of campaigns in their community.
Due to current Covid-19 restrictions the schools will be adapting their activities and encouraging pupils to carry out local litter surveys or litter picks with their own households as part of their outdoor exercise.
