Victory for the Red Army
11 GoodGymers made their way 8km to help the Luton Borough Council Parks and Countryside in Luton.

This week we had another excellent turnout with lots of fresh faces, ready to take on the task of the day.
We had a well timed heavy downpour just before we gathered, which left us with a cool and sunny evening to get a long run done.
We headed out to the Limbury area, following the river to our destination: another riverside patch of invasive Goldenrod plants!
The long distance to the task left us with just a short time to get it completed but with so many hands on deck we managed to grab the vast majority of the troublesome plants and yank them up, adding to the pile that the previous volunteers had started.
We've had a few missions lately backing up the regular conservation volunteers in targeting the goldenrod but with this strike we can declare victory for this year, all the major stands of this pest plant have been pulled up, but we'll keep an eye out for any more that we missed.
