KNYSNA | SEDGEFIELD NEWS - The Spring Clean Greater Knysna initiative celebrated its third year last weekend, and organisers were thrilled with its most successful edition yet as almost 300 people took part in clean-ups throughout Knysna and Sedgefield on Saturday 19 September.
The clean-up was organised for the first time by Ocean Odyssey in 2018 and has consistently grown to more and more areas being cleaned each year.
This year was a landmark year for the initiative due to the scale of the event in terms of area covered and number of participants.
In line with Covid-19 regulations, teams were restricted to a maximum of 10 people, but this did not deter about 290 eager volunteers from taking part.

"This event is not only to clean up but to also educate the public and make them more aware as to where their waste ends up. We hope it makes them think twice before walking past a piece of litter after participating in an event like this," said organiser Teresa da Mata.
