A nine o’clock start and two Goodgymers felt like they were returning to school… oh because they were back in school. But after being welcomed by the receptionist we were shown to an overgrown area just beyond the school fence. Riverbank School have decided on a project to reclaim an overgrown and litter strewn stretch of land alongside the river bank to create an outdoor learning environment. Knowing the drill for scrub clearance we were happy to work alongside the head teacher and one or two people From Groundwork’s to start clearing the scrub, cutting back trees and collecting up the usual assortment of litter cans and nitros. The sun was shining and we enjoyed making quite an impact on what we home will be a fabulous environment for the children.

We’re also looking forward to stage two when we’ve been promised we can don the waders and start clearing the river if the massive amount of cans and rubbish.
