Wild Service Festival: SCRAP TALKS: Will Atkinson – Creating Trash Free Trails
Join Will from Trash Free Trails to discover shocking trail trash science, bold activism, and how you can protect wild places.
Trash Free Trails (TFT) is a grassroots movement reconnecting people with nature by removing litter from the places we love. TFT Ambassador Will—Dalby Forest local and trail protector—shares shocking science behind trail trash, insights from the State of Our Trails Report, and stories from the front lines of conservation. From leading clean-ups to pushing for a UK-wide Deposit Return Scheme, Will’s work blends research, education, and activism. With over 400,000 pieces of pollution removed and 5,000+ people engaged, TFT is building a community of trail stewards. Expect adventure, surprising data, and a call to action that will change how you see trash.

This event is part of the Wild Service Festival, a combination of free and paid events encompassing visual poetry, music, spoken word, talks, and workshops, the Wild Service Festival celebrates the creative and practical ways we can simultaneously reconnect with and become better guardians of nature, while improving our well-being through the power of participation.
Britain ranks last in Europe on biodiversity, wellbeing, and nature connectedness. Nature is suffering, and so are we. ‘Wild Service’ – the visionary concept and book crafted by the Right to Roam campaign – argues that humanity’s loss and nature’s need are two sides of the same story. It calls for mass reconnection to the land and a commitment to its restoration.
