Dom Ferris | Trash Free Trails

The UKRunChat podcast.

Join us as we chat with Dom Ferris from Trash Free Trails, a community-powered movement aiming to (re)connect people with nature through the simple yet meaningful act of removing single-use pollution from wild places.

We chatted about:

- Why the word 'litter' can be misleading

- How single use pollution, especially drinks containers, are causing death amongst our small animal population

- How a Deposit Return Scheme could revolutionise trail cleanliness.

- The link between nature connection and mental wellbeing.

- Why trail runners are uniquely positioned to lead the charge in protecting our outdoor spaces.

- Simple steps you can take to help keep our trails trash-free.

Whether you’re a runner, cyclist, or outdoors roamer, this conversation will inspire you to make a difference.

Listen now and discover how we can all play a part in keeping our trails beautiful.
