Help look after your local area, with help from one of our Litter Picking Hubs.
We are proud to be working with all local authorities across Wales on our biggest ever initiative to eradicate litter and waste.
Caru Cymru (a Welsh phrase meaning ‘Love Wales’) aims to inspire everyone to take action and care for the environment.
By everybody working together to create a clean and safe environment, we can build stronger, healthier communities and make a positive difference to our planet.
Be part of the #CaruCymru movement.
We're supporting activity on the ground in a sustainable way. Join or establish your own community group, make use of our litter picking hubs and take part in campaigns.
To make a difference, you need to understand the issues. Learn about the latest research and good practice from Wales and beyond.
Discover how you can green your business, take ownership of and improve your local area.
The vision is for Caru Cymru to be interwoven into life in Wales, so it becomes second nature for everyone to do the right thing, from taking litter home and cleaning up after your dog, to recycling 'on-the-go', reusing and repairing.
Our work addresses the biggest environmental issues affecting communities.
