Beach Cleans
HELP KEEP RAASAY’S SHORES PRISTINE
- Our beaches are a vital part of our island’s lifeblood—wildlife, heritage, and everyday joy. With your help, we can locate the areas that need cleaning, organise a beach clean, and celebrate our shared coasts
See Rubbish. Record It. Help Us Clean It
We can all help keep our beaches clean by using a brilliant app called BeachTrack, as well as making sure we take a bag in our pocket when we go out for a walk, and just spending 5-10 minutes picking up the rubbish we see.
The
BeachTrack
app makes it simple: whenever you are walking on a beach, use the app to track your walk, and when finished, record the state of the beach in the app. It is quick and easy to use.
Your data helps us map hotspots, prioritise clean-ups, and measure progress over time.
