Emma, Julian and Sam met Jacqui outside Cossall Estate Community Centre to gather the tools they needed for this one hour blitz.

Jacqui had us weeding just outside the Cossall Nature Trail, but we had to make sure we weren't weeding too much. Jacqui still wanted some wildness, but just wanted a few weeds and nettles to be taken away. They had a routine where Emma and Julian took the weeds out whilst Sam bagged them up.

The second half of the hour, Jacqui and the GoodGymers wondered into the nature trail with litter pickers to sweep the trail and pick up litter. Of course, the locals favourite was found - several bottles of Lamberini - amongst other litter gems.

Jacqui hopes to make these sessions a regular feat, so please look out for these sessions in the future!
