My name is Emily, I am 7 years old and I've decided to walk 4 miles along the Grantham canal from Gamston to Cotgrave Country Park on 30th August 2021, picking up as much litter as I can and raising money for Nottinghamshire Wildlife Trust.

I'm doing this walk because I care a lot about our planet and the environment. I want to do something that raises awareness about how important it is to look after the Earth, and which makes a difference to my local countryside. I have chosen to raise money for Nottinghamshire Wildlife Trust because of the important work they do to protect our local wildlife and nature.
