Cherry-o, Bye Bye, Lop Off!
8 GoodGymers made their way 7.0km to help the Friends of Everton Park in Liverpool.

Our excellent 8 took on a sea of invasive cherry tree saplings at Everton Park.
After rethinking the session - original to be held in the orchard area of the park but changed for lack of fruit! - we met John from Friends of Everton Park with a boot full of loppers. Once everyone had found the meeting spot, we chose our tools and headed towards an area overrun with self-planted saplings and got to work.
We lopped and we sawed and we carried felled saplings for close to an hour. While we did a fine job, sadly we didn't quite beat back every tree. Luckily, we visit Everton Park regularly so can keep this on our to-do list for now.
Extra kudos to everyone who ran to tonight's session but thanks and well done to everyone.
We're back at Everton Park on 21 September and you can sign-up here.
