Todays Mission brought four GoodGymers out in the cold, but gloriously sunny morning to help out the team from Friends of Grove Farm with their monthly conservation day. Christos, Kash, Sevan and Penny joined Mike, Anna and others from the Friends of Grove Farm community at the north entrance of the park, to create more open space and visibility in the area.

After a short briefing, the team divided to conquer the 3 tasks on hand. First off, Penny and Christos took hold of loppers to get cutting and chopping away at the brambles and foliage in front of the hedge, and opening out the area for it to be more easily mowed.

Secondly, and a favourite for Kash, was an opportunity to take charge of the hedge trimmers and dutifully reduce the large hedge down to hip height for better visibility.

And if this wasn’t enough already, Sevan was also on hand to help on a third task, clearing the fly-tipped garden waste at the opening of the park. The waste and all the cuttings from the brambles and hedge were masterfully weaved and threaded with branches, to help holding the dead hedge all together.

A lot of hard work and a very noticeable change across the area by the end of the session!
