A big thank you to the 17 amazing people from Dodder Action and Cherryfield Dog Walkers who came out this morning to clean the Cherryfield section of Dodder Valley Park. We were blessed with glorious weather after a very cold start, and were amazed at just how much rubbish we picked up.

Foxes are incredible creatures—playful, intelligent, and vital to our ecosystems. They deserve to thrive in the wild, free from fear and cruelty. 🦊

Killing them for sport is barbaric and senseless. Let’s protect their joy and beauty.

A wonderful turn out of 15 volunteers today in Milltown who totalled some derelict camp sites at the Nine Arches in double quick time. Evidence of some very sad lives, including syringes... Hope to see you again on January 18th
