This June, values lead footwear brand KEEN and specialist independent mountain sports retailer Ellis Brigham, are excited to join forces with Trash Free Trails for the second year, as they roll out a series of purpose-led social walks, designed to clean up some of the UK’s most-loved outdoor spaces.
Part city or trail wander, part community clean-up, the free of charge events invite people to get outside, cover some ground and quietly make a difference along the way. Setting off from Ellis Brigham stores in Manchester, Bristol, London and Keswick, each route blends easy going group walks with litter-picking, citizen science and the occasional quirky discovery underfoot.

Each event will be led by Trash Free Trails’ brilliants ambassadors and shaped around relaxed participation - whether that means logging data, filling a bin bag or just noticing what’s been left behind on the trail. All events are family and dog friendly and free of charge to attend.
Alongside the walking, participants can expect goodie bags and prizes for the most unusual litter finds (the stranger the better).
