An excellent evening after some heavy rain, GoodGymers took to the heath once more to pull bracken. We went to the same spot as last year and could see that the bracken had not grown back as strongly, so we got pulling.
A big space became clear and lots of heath was re-exposed, so much so that insects and dragonflies immediately swooped in as we were clearing to get to the nectar in the plants that were previously obscured.
Other highlights were a flying visit from GoodGymer Ian as he ran past our spot and seeing a hornet’s nest thriving in an dead tree, which made groundskeeper Will very happy to see.

We welcomed Grant to his first GoodGym deed and what a great one to pick as your first.
We met Will, the Mousehold Warden, who then took us well into the depths of Mousehold Heath (I'm glad he was there as I would have got everyone lost otherwise!).
There were 3x tasks for the team to get stuck into this evening.
1) Pop and Pull out self seeded birch trees (which will be replanted in more appropriate areas of the heath). 2) Remove some cut back gauze bushes (this is where the gauntlet gloves were very much needed). 3) Pull up some early growing bracken.
It was a very sociable evening with a great turn out of people.
