Two schools through Leeson House came over to Kimmeridge with a strong conservation theme.  The 75 strong group learnt about marine litter and its impact on the environment before collecting 117kg from Stink Corner.  Although the litter doesn't look and smell too nice at times, the children, armed with gloves were extremely keen to help the local wildlife. The area certainly looked a lot cleaner afterwards!
