The group partnered with the Solid Waste Department and the Richmond Vale Academy to host the event under the theme âKeeping SVG Clean, Preserving Our Future.â
According to one of the coordinators of the programme, Terranza Franklyn, the campaign was primarily aimed at promoting environmental conservation in the North Leeward area.
âA number of youth in the community came out, participated in the clean-up and at the same time they learnt some basic environmental conservation techniques, so we are pleased with their effort,â Franklyn noted.
Participants comprised a number of youth groups in the Chateaubelair district and the members of the Richmond Vale Academy.
