@unibirmingham check out this competition from @HogFriendly - can we collect the most litter in our local community? Maybe our friends at @ilovesellyoak @PlasticFreeUob and @uobconservation can help us?
From 2nd Nov to 18th Dec, we're holding a UK-wide competition to find out which #university can collect the most community litter. Winner receives a Hedgehog House & food for their campus from @hedgehogsociety!
