A combination of two tasks today at Moushold Heath, both very rewarding!

We cleared the gullies to expose the Roman road used by the local cavalry to march up to their Barracks. A job which was satisfying as we could see the results very easily.

Meanwhile another group tackled the final third of the Dutch Elm, cutting it back and disposing of it down the deep gully as per a few weeks ago.

All topped off with lovely refreshments at the end courtesy of Mousehold Warden Will.

Today 12 GoodGymers ran or cycled to support conservation work at Mousehold Heath.

We met Will at St James Hill on Britannia Road, an area of natural habitat for a rich variety of wildlife including Common Whitethroat - the only place in Norwich this species can be found.

We went to an overgrown area that had grown so high it obscured one of the finest views in the city.

Armed with loppers and saws, we spent an hour cutting everything back and carrying the long branches to a clearing below. It was amazing to see the results after we finished! Now anyone wanting to sit on the bench could see right across the entire city.

Shout Out to Alice who attended her first session.

High Five's for Eloise who completed her 50th Good Deed!
