At Green Hive, we’re constantly inspired by the dedication and hard work of our volunteers and community members. One such incredible individual is Beryl, whose efforts in 2024 have truly set the bar for environmental stewardship and community spirit.
At the beginning of the year, Beryl set herself an ambitious goal: collect 1,000 cans from the roadside verges of Nairn’s B roads. Fast forward a few months, and she has far exceeded that target, collecting an astounding 1,422 cans! And that’s not all – Beryl has also been regularly cleaning up Tradespark Woods, making a remarkable impact on the local environment.

A True Champion for the Environment
Beryl’s efforts go beyond numbers. Her regular cleanups in Tradespark Woods ensure this beautiful area remains welcoming for wildlife and the community. She exemplifies the power of individual action in making a tangible difference to our local environment.
Why It Matters
Litter isn’t just unsightly; it’s a threat to wildlife, ecosystems, and even human health. By collecting cans, bottles, and other waste, Beryl prevents these materials from polluting our landscapes and ensures they’re recycled wherever possible. Her work inspires others to consider how they too can contribute to a cleaner, greener Nairn.
