Community-minded volunteers from Brigg, Broughton and Kirton Lindsey have been invited to a celebratory event, together with others from across North Lincolnshire.
It will be held on Thursday, January 17 at Winterton Rangers Football Club.
North Lincolnshire Council says volunteer groups who have played a part in keeping the area safe, clean and green have the chance to attend.
Hard-working volunteers have been involved in a range of initiatives throughout the past year.
These include the Great British Spring Clean where people took part in a litter pick in their local area and In Bloom groups who have made communities look more appealing with planters and flowers.
At the event, volunteers will be recognised for going the extra mile and presented with a certificate. 

Litter picking equipment will also be provided for those who are taking part in the Great British Spring Clean or other litter picks.
Guest speakers will be Cllr David Rose, Chair of North Lincolnshire Campaign for Rural England, and Richard McIlwain, Deputy Chief Executive of Keep Britain Tidy.
Cllr Rob Waltham, of Brigg, the Leader of North Lincolnshire Council, will welcome everyone to the event.

IN BLOOM
The unitary authority set up the brand new horticultural venture in early 2018. Residents are encouraged to set up their own groups to give their area a colour lift and provide floral displays. There are currently six groups in North Lincolnshire:
Scunthorpe in Bloom
Brigg in Bloom (see picture above showing flowers on the County Bridge)
Bottesford in Bloom
Skippingdale in Bloom
Kirton-in-Lindsey in Bloom
Broughton in Bloom


GREAT BRITISH SPRING CLEAN
For the past three years the council has taken part in the Great British Spring Clean (originally started as Clean for the Queen). It encourages volunteers to get involved in the biggest ever litter campaign and help clean up their community.
Hundreds of local people, community groups, charities, sports clubs, businesses and town and parish councils were called on to join the army of ‘litter heroes’.
Due to this success, the council won The Great British Spring Clean – Local Authority Award at the Keep Britain Tidy Network Awards 2018 for its part in the 2017 campaign.
North Lincolnshire Council will be taking part in the campaign again in 2019 from 2 to 4 March.
The Great British Spring Clean is led by Keep Britain Tidy. The aim of the campaign is to bring people across the country together to clear up the litter that blights towns, villages, countryside and beaches.

Let's reverse things...instead of groups of folks picking-up other people's litter, develop a campaign to reduce litter dropping...this could include using stills from the town's CCTV cameras of litter-louts and put them on display... embarrass them...or fine them..
Litter-louts are not going to stop when there are nice folk picking up their litter - reverse the circle!
