Thanks Woody for the pun!

Today 7 GoodGymers ran 4km join local residents and volunteers at Edmund Bacon Close.

The venue had been supplied with tools, bulbs and trees to be planted including Acers, Prurius, Viburnham and Jasmine. Thankfully the rain had stopped but the ground was soft so we got to work digging and planting in different areas of the grounds.

After an hour we had planted the trees and clusters of daffodills, snowdrops, bluebells and crocus.

We love forward to returning in the spring to see what has grown!

9 GoodGymer's turned out for a great morning at Mousehold Heath.

Cutting back Common Gorse, which is an invasive species and has been strangling the heather that grows on the heath. The Heather is a great pollinator and is essential to bees and insects thriving.

The team removed lots of Gorse, with the aid of Will’s big protective gloves and long reaching loppers. After it was removed it was laid on drag mats and taken to a big hole not far away where it can mulch down.

Everyone was in great spirits and could see a massive impact for the hours work that it took of lopping and dragging.

We will be back again in a few weeks for another task in Mousehold.

On another quaint evening at Marlpit Community Gardens, GoodGym lent a hand or few.

Stephen had the grand job or repositioning a mass pile of horse manure, which he made light work of!

The rest of us were raking up piles of the cut long grass.

Congratulations to Liz who was completing her 10th GoodGym deed.

To finish the evening, they allowed us to pick some berries for self consumption.
