Hundreds of volunteers joined the "Big Dee Day" event in Parkgate to help with a major clean-up.
Painting picnic benches, cutting trees and litter picking were just some of the activities in the Cheshire West and Chester Council campaign.
Cabinet member for environment Cllr Karen Shore said: “The beautiful River Dee and nearby canal waterways are some of our area’s most scenic attractions.
“It’s fantastic this Big Dee Day clean-up event takes place each year to keep them looking their best.
“I’m delighted the council was able to support this local initiative that is so important to the local communities along the River Dee.
“Everyone involved did a fantastic job.”
r Council staff were joined by the Flintshire Countryside Service, the Friends of Edgar’s Field, the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI), the Royal Society for the Protection Birds (RSBP), Connah’s Quay sea cadets and eco-travel charity SUSTRANS for a day of family fun.
