Who this task will support
Ealing Parks and Open Spaces
The Council parks service look after Ealing's parks, open spaces and nature conservation areas. This includes allotments, cemeteries, playgrounds and sports pitches. By working closely with the community the organisation aims to ensure that green areas provide a haven for people and wildlife.

In the leafy kingdom of Ealing Common, ancient oaks and elms have been quietly extending their reach, sending overhanging branches across the paths below.

Once clear and inviting, the paths are now slipping into shadow, as leafy boughs encroach on the way ahead.

And so, GoodGym Ealing must rise to the challenge: armed with tools and determination, our brave band will take on the unruly branches, reclaiming the paths and restoring light to the woodland realm.

โœ”๏ธ What is the epic quest

  • Chop down the overhanging branches
  • Pile up the branches into piles for collection

โ”Why should GoodGym help?

  • The branches obscure the view of the park and reduce accessibility
  • The task was requested by a ranger from Ealing Parks

๐Ÿ“Œ Where?

  • Meet at the green space opposite the crossing between The Common and Grange roads
  • W3W: issue.that.loves

๐Ÿงค What to bring?

  • Gardening gloves might be useful if you have them

How are you getting there?
