It was a beautiful day for our first community mission of the year and a great turnout of 6 Goodgymmers (plus hanger-on Devon - maybe he will be tempted to join us proper...). We had an energetic start - most of us on our bikes and 3 of us having been to Parkrun beforehand! ๐ŸŒž๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿšฒ

Jobs included:

  • Hammering staples into a new boardwalk for grip ๐Ÿ”จ
  • Pruning Magnolia โœ‚๏ธ
  • Brushing/scraping leaves and soil away from the edges of paths and car park ๐Ÿงน

Shelagh says they would welcome us back any time for their regular volunteer session on the 1st Saturday of the month. I will be listing a task with them on Saturday of Easter weekend marshaling an Easter Egg hunt (that seems so far away!) ๐Ÿฅš


This task supported
Friends of Whirlowbrook Park - Plant Swap
