VOLUNTEERS from Lower Hyde, Landguard, Nodes Point and Thorness Bay holiday parks took part in the Great British Beach Clean.
Held between mid September, the event was run by the Marine Conservation Society to aid conversation work and help keep the seas clean.
Four bags of litter were collected, weighing in at a total of 5.9 kg, or more than 13lbs.
The data from the collections will help further the Marine Conservation Society’s conservation work, and will also be included in the International Coastal Clean-up.
Owned by Parkdean Resorts, the UK’s largest holiday park operator, Lower Hyde, Landguard, Nodes Point and Thorness Bay holiday parks were among 36 other Parkdean sites that took part in similar beach clean events, where volunteers came together to pick up litter found along the coast.
In April, Parkdean Resorts announced a cash injection of £2.8 million into its Isle of Wight parks as part of a £140m nationwide investment programme to improve the guest experience.
