The Arts Culture and Environment Team (ACE Team) is a youth-led group that is planning events they want to see in the Barrington Coast.

‘Pick up for the Planet’ is the first event the team have co-created. It will be held Saturday 8th October at Billabong Park, as part of the Gloucester Wild Festival.

Prizes will be awarded for the most rubbish collected, the biggest piece of rubbish and more.

To join in, please register on the day at Council’s stall at the festival.

From 11:30am - 1pm Andrew O'sullivan will be hosting 'The Magic of Reuse' talk, where he will be teaching event participants how they can reuse and upcycle their items. Head to 'book now' to register.
