8 soggy GG Yorkies and a Leedsie met with the lovely folk at Chapman's Pond to help rake up grass cuttings and clear litter from around the site.

While some of the team raked cuttings into big rolls, others forked it into wheelbarrows which were quickly whisked away (big shout out to Two-Barrow-Tom!) to make compost heaps around the site.

Mitch and Emily started with litter picking, but soon acquired rakes and wheelbarrows to help out with the compost heaps.

Job done, we assembled for a group photo, taken by one of the Chapman's Pond ladies who knew exactly how to direct Mitch to make the perfect shot

Legs akimbo young man!

We must have done a good job because they're keen to have us back in a couple of weeks time for some more of the same. Keep your eyes peeled for the next task at Chapman's pond ...there was even talk of potential cake!
