South Coast Clean-Up Day
Kangaroo Island's biggest "Clean-Up" event to date will be held in conjunction with World Environment Day on Tuesday the 5th June. The event will involve scouring over 50 kilometres of roadside vegetation for litter and rubbish. Hopefully over 100 Volunteers from a range of groups will attend the day cleaning up one of the Island’s major road’s, sorting rubbish, which will be audited and collected by the Kangaroo Island Council.
A very wide range of people, businesses and organisations are involved in organising the day being led by TOMM and Tourism Kangaroo Island. Local business is getting on board to assist in sponsoring the event in a range of ways, local groups and organisations have committed to participating in the day, which is fantastic! Sponsors so far include, Bank SA, Great Southern Plantations, SeaLink, Vivonne Bay Outdoor Education Centre, The Islander and Tourism Kangaroo Island, with the support of APT, Exceptional Kangaroo Island, Kildea Chemist, Chase Cafe, Galipo Foods, Kangaroo Island Seafront, Kangaroo Island Wilderness Retreat, Island Foods, Ozone Seafront Hotel and Kangaroo Island Council.
If you would like to be involved, please register your interest. If you would like to sponsor the event, please let us know, there are a range of items we are looking for sponsorship for.
The Event will finish with a celebration at the Vivonne Bay Outdoor Education Centre, there will be an official weigh-in, the launch of the Sea Lion Research Fund by Nature Foundation SA and a BBQ for all participants to provide an opportunity to mingle and celebrate the day's achievements.
