“A fantastic kit that our students have used along the river/estuary that leads directly into the ocean. Students have been motivated to continue cleaning the bank daily during their lunchtimes and plan to keep doing this now they have their gloves and can work safely. The kit sparked the creation of books, posters, an environment club and rubbish clean-ups for more than just a one-off day!”
