This morning Jonny and Olivier did a litter pick on our GoodGym Sutton Coldfield adopted part of Birmingham Road.

We walked a good 2 miles in total at a bit of a 'snails pace' as obviously we were picking up a lot of litter on the way!

With snails in mind we found a large piece of damp cardboard (after last nights rain) which we were about to put into our bin bags, only to find on the other side that it was full of snails. So before we put it into our bags we rescued around 30 snails, leaving them on a nice grassed area :)

We walked back to our starting point even finding an opened tub of Tomato soup! Once done we had filled a whole 2 bags full of rubbish, so we really made a difference :)

This morning Charlotte, Olivia and Jonny helped out at the Hill Hook Nature Reserve.

The task was lopping with the loppers! Well not exactly, it was to cut all the vegetation back from the paths.

Jonny who arrived on his bike, also did a bit of litter picking, though there wasn't much litter about.

We also got to see the swans with their new born.

We'll be back again at Hill Hook in 3 weeks :)

On a lovely warm and Sunny morning, Olivier, Raull and Jonny helped out at the Glovers Trust.

The session was doing some weeding. We were armed with hoes! hence the pun and a wheel Barrow. As you can see from the before and after pictures we made a real difference, filling a whole wheel barrow full of weeds.

This afternoon was our 1st Community Mission at the Glovers Trust.

Olivier was on her 2nd CM of the day after helping out with the Erdington Litter Busters this morning!

On arriving unfortunately the shed was locked, but no problem we still could get on with the task, which was to clear the gardens of debri and litter.

We filled 2 bin bags of both. Whilst also meeting a very friendly cat, who was very happy to role around in the winter sunshine.

Once done it was time for a quick selfie by Jo and home for a warm drink :)

This morning Olivia joined Erdington litter busters for a litter pick in Rookery Park.

Though once there she actually did some gardening. Please take a look at the pictures for some fantastic before and after shots :)
