Getting one's roots done in a timely fashion has been one of the challenges of 2020, and it turns out it's not just a human issue: After a cancelled Lockdown appointment Boundary Brook Nature Park's roots were also in dire need of some attention.

The task for our team was to dig out the stubborn bramble roots in an area of the nature park destined to become an orchard and butterfly habitat. No peroxide involved, just forks, spades and our new favourite tool - the lazy dog.

It turns out the bramble roots didn't care to be dug out, so it took a fair amount of effort and team work - we definitelly put the Gym into GoodGym today!
