Murlough National Nature Reserve posted to its Facebook page: “[On Friday] our Rangers lifted nearly 60 bags of rubbish from Murlough.

“We had to draft in extra help from the team at Castle Ward National Trust as we knew we’d need a few more hands.

“Thank you to everyone who helped! Murlough is a nature reserve, not the local party spot so it’s important that we treat it with respect.

“We know we’re preaching to the choir on this page so thank you for your support! Once we are able to bring back some volunteers we’re looking into allowing socially distanced litter picks. As always, we ask you to #LeaveNoTrace”
