Another busy session of digging, planting, mulching and fencing in Alexandra recreation ground today when GoodGym volunteers joined an energetic team to finish 44 metres of hedgerow, made up of 236 saplings. This was the last of a series of weekend efforts to finish an ambitious project initiated by the Friends of Cator Park and Alexandra, using grants and donations to add a green corridor of native species along an unused stretch beside the playing fields - benefitting wildlife, helping to protect our climate and improving a popular community space.
Best of all, we could see many of the young trees we planted earlier this year are already sprouting spring buds - looking happy in their new home!

Such a lovely morning! Please can I be added on? :D
Lovely to meet you Catherine. Did you check your email for a "mission accomplished registration"? If no luck, Mark can probably add you!
Nice work everyone! I’ve just added you Catherine but you should normally get a ‘mission accomplished’ email as Linda says where you can say you attended :)
Ooh thanks gang! Totally missed that - you can tell I'm a newbie 😆
