Am I being too touchy here?
Yes.
Why not invite her in for a nice cup of tea and thank her for cleaning up the neighbourhood? Or better still volunteer to go around her area and pick up the litter in her front garden.
Honestly, I think you're being a bit OTT considering writing a letter. Okay, so it was a bit cheeky to go into your garden, but why not have a quiet word instead. Tidy towns committees do a great job generally. Is it blindingly obvious that its private property or could the piece of land be construed as a common area?
Is there a boundary wall?
I reckon they were overly exuberant and just kept picking up litter as they came across it.
I'd let it go this time. If it happens again I'd have a word with them then.

You mention something about a complete stranger... how do you know they were a local volunteer of the tidy towns if they were a complete stranger?a local volenteer of the tidy towns rambles up with his litter picker
A green area? Is it your driveway? Is it on your property? Who maintains this green area normally?and starts removing litter from the green area directly outide my front window ( I share this area with other semi D on estate half hers half mine) .
If I was a volunteer for the tidy towns and was walking around your neighbourhood, and saw some litter in a "green area" in front of your house, I would pick it up too.Now I dont want to be un civic minded and I think tidy towns commitees do a great job, but I think the guy has got a hell of a cheek.
Maybe pick the rubbish up yourself next time and then there wont be a need for volunteers to go around picking up rubbish and annoying you.Am I being too touchy here. Thing is it really annoyed me.
Write a letter if it helps you feel better, or maybe next time, get a pair of gloves, a black bag and give them a hand.I am tempted to write a letter but dont want to come accross as tetchy especially as I am new to the area.
In my opinion , you are right to be annoyed . - If he walks on a nail , is your insurance going to cover the damage .
Once , we left our wheelie bin inside our front garden , and it was not emptied , as insurance does not cover the binmen on private property.
I would love to volunteer and I will but I am new to the area. So give me time.
A mans home is his castle and all that.
Are you seriously telling me that of a random stranger went into your garden and started picking litter you would think its okay?
What if your kids were outside playing in the garden?
Being civic minded does not give a person and excuse to be presumptuous
You are in breach of litter act if there is litter on your land visible from a public place. The Litter warden could issue a fine. It does not matter who put it there. Thank the tidy town committee for keeping the area clean.
You should have been grateful he was picking up your own rubbish
