We have formed a Coast-Care group with help from Keep Wales Tidy and  look after the river bank and the beach at the bottom of Ferry Road and along the Pembroke river.

We hold regular litter picks to remove rubbish and litter and  the group has bought  some litter pickers, like robot arms, so  our backs don't ache! The council will collect any bags or other rubbish from the beach. If you want to help on a Saturday morning, please ask  when the next event is planned.  We usually work from 10-12 noon and then have sandwiches and a chat at The Sherlock Holmes! 

Pembroke River is a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI).  There are extensive areas of saltmarsh and  mudflats which support migratory waterfowl and waders such as wigeon, shelduck, curlew, and oyster catchers.  There are also nationally rare and scarce plants. Otters use the river for resting and feeding.

If you see anyone dumping rubbish anywhere please contact Pembrokeshire County Council.  Offenders can be prosecuted.  If you want to help with our next Coast-Care event please come along to the next meeting or contact one of the group. 

Are you a poop scooper?

Dog mess is unpleasant on our streets and footpaths.  We need everyone to help to make Pennar and Bufferland a clean place for children to play and for us all to walk.  If your dog fouls in a public place – please clean it up.  Bagged dog waste can be placed in any litter bin.

Some tips for dog owners 

Always remember to carry a poop bag

Dispose of the bag in your dustbin

Always clean up after your dog

Your dog should be taken out to exercise, not to foul

Teach your dog to foul in your garden

Try to make sure that your dog never fouls in public places

Remember you could be guilty of an offence if you fail to remove and dispose of your dog faeces

Worm your dog – dogs that are not wormed regularly can carry infections

Rubbish .... What are you doing with it?
