Paddleboarders to pick litter from river in Boroughbridge
Paddleboarders will pick litter on the river in Boroughbridge this weekend as part of a global movement to clean the planet.
North Yorkshire outdoor adventure company Alfresco Adventures is teaming up with the environmental community interest company Planet Patrol to take a small group of volunteers on the River Ure on Saturday.
They will start at the marina and paddleboard to the locks, armed with buckets to put rubbish in.
They will record details of litter collected on the Planet Patrol app at the end of the session.

Planet Patrol aims to "challenge, inform, and help solve major environmental issues using hard facts".
Lizzie Carr, its founder, said:
This weekend's free event filled up quickly. However, another litter pick is planned in Boroughbridge on September 17, which is World Clean Up Day.
