Monday Motivation… Take a child on a litter pick, keep their world clean for a day. Teach a child not to litter, keep their world clean for a lifetime. 💚🚯🗑👍🏻💚 #litter #litterpick #lovewhereyoulive #bethechange #mondaymotivation #mondaythoughts

These bulbs and flowers were all planted by volunteers. Bought by volunteers to give back to the community. The first photo below is the before photo of the bulbs blooming. The second photo is what it now looks like after being vandalised. This is so sad. 😭 #sadtimes

We ask that anyone using this space only leave foots & not mattresses, carpets & litter. Respect the flowers and trees, many donated. Help us keep this space somewhere we can all connect with nature. This space belongs to us all, so let's work together 💚 #doontheburn

9 years ago since this article was printed. The difference that has been made to the area has been vast. The majority of the work thanks to local people caring for their surrounding area. South Lanarkshire Council must be thanked for the grass cutting & all the uplifts #communitymatters

With this being Green Health Week, today is the perfect opportunity to connect with Nature doon at Belstane Burn. We are having a get-together to tidy and maintain, so why not join us. People will be there from around 11am. Get Outdoors Lanarkshire South Lanarkshire Council

Thank You to all the volunteers & visitors who popped down to Belstane Burn today to help out and for good conversations. Together we got through a power of work & made sure all the plants & trees got a good drink. #doontheburn #teamwork #communitymatters #carluke

A busy few days as volunteers maintain, clear and create at the green space which runs parallel to Belstane Burn. Thanks for everyone's contributions hard work, donations & dedication to this space. Together we are turning this into a great space for all to enjoy. #doontheburn

Team Work makes the Dream Work. Today, BRAG joined forces with Friends of Jocks Burn Community Orchard to maintain their space. We shared resources, knowledge & laughter. #carluke #onecarluke #communitymatters #teamwork Get Outdoors Lanarkshire

A massive shout out to Gordon Bell Tree Services for the delivery of these wood chippings. They help us to suppress the weeds while we continue to work on our green space. This donation is greatly received! #donations #doontheburn #carluke

A lovely video showcasing another area of Carluke that nature is thriving in. We would definitely recommend a visit there 😀 #carluke #naturereserve #southlanarkshire South Lanarkshire Council youtu.be/BgZ7TmFHjVc?si…

Thank You to South Lanarkshire Council for cutting the grass in the green space at Belstane Burn. Much appreciated by all who enjoy this space 🌳💚 #doontheburn #feelinggrateful #carluke

This piece of litter shares the same emotion as the volunteers & residents who spend time picking up various items that are either left or dumped down the green space or in the burn. Bin your rubbish and look after your own belongings. #doontheburn #dumbdumpers #carluke

This weekend, dead hedge extended, composting box started, wildflowers planted & half whisky barrel that we received as a donation was planted up. Thanks to everyone who supports us, which includes all the donations we receive to make the green space a welcoming space for all.

One of our volunteers has been growing their own butterflies 🦋 to eventually release doon the burn. Today they were excited to share they had movement. #butterflies #biodiversity #carluke #doontheburn

What our friends at High Mill Carluke have taught us is even when times get tough we should get outside and keep smiling. #staypositive #KeepSmiling #CommunityMatters Get Outdoors Lanarkshire
