The group – called Little Pickers – will meet on Saturday, April 30, at 11am outside Springfield School, on Cavendish Street in Broomhall, for the launch.
Councillor Kaltum Rivers, representative for Broomhill and Sharrow Vale ward, said: “This is environmental education to encourage children to be proud of their neighbourhood and address climate change early on in their lives.

The group is supported by Nesar Miah, a localites officer; Carl Machael, of Amey; Maleike Haybe, of Unity Gym; and SciTech, a water treatment company.
Coun Rivers – who is stepping down as a councillor at the local elections next week – encouraged people to come along.
She said parents should bring some water to stay hydrated and participants will get a high vis, litter picker and bags.
