There will be trees

As good gymmers we are known for clearing gardens and allotments of weeds, but we are less know as those who plant things.

Some of our latest tasks though prove that wherever Good Gym Cardiff and Vale goes, a wildlife area is created.

This task was truly amazing because it got the team of four to plant around 20 trees between them!

But how?

First, there was a task referral from Trees for cities, a great charity that delivers tree planting projects we're they are needed most. Tremorfa Park in Cardiff was one of those areas. Trees, it is worth pointing out, are living carbon sinks so they help with offsetting some of the carbon emissions and in doing so help us lower the global temperature. Trees are great for wildlife, air filtration, provide shade and boost well-being especially in cities. So, of course, the task was aaa aaa maaaa zing on the so many fronts: outdoors, for community and the planet, fun and...tools and vegan food were provided.

Second, the good gymmers were not alone in this. Trees for cities opened up the task to volunteers from across Cardiff and did it to support Cardiff Council in their climate action. So, it is means that good gymmers followed instructions and guidance by some of the most knowledgeable and passionate people out there.

Third, the good gym just loves to dig and work that soil, so they were at it as pros!

So there, this is how GoodGym in Cardiff planted 20 trees in two hours.
