The Narre Warren Girls Brigade had the environment front of mind at their meeting on Thursday 10 March, holding a clean up event at their weekly meeting.
Everyone in attendance was passionate to pick up as much waste as possible, to keep the area around Narre Warren North Road and Fox Road tidy.
Although it was not able to be held on the day, Captain Cheree Hemmings emphasised the significance of Clean Up Australia Day, held on 6 March, to the team, and also tied the event in with International Women’s Day, marked on Tuesday 8 March.
“We talked about how important the environment is and how we can be good stewards to the earth,” Ms Hemmings said.
“We really want to allow the girls to grow into leaders and be intelligent and confident young women.”
The girls cleaned for almost an hour, gathering recycling and waste.
