"Wombling Week coincides with the first week of hedge trimming this autumn, so we are focusing on creating healthy hedges by collecting litter from our local hedgerows and conserving these important wild habitats," a spokesperson from Plastic Free Guernsey said.
"We're calling on families, dog walkers and wobblers everywhere to take a countryside walk and collect any litter they find from hedgerows and habitats."
People of all ages are welcome to attend the events.
