Bright and early on Sunday morning, two GoodGym Leeds members headed over to the Farsley Rehoboth to help with the reclamation work.

Gemma and Jason arrived at the burial site, just dodging the rain. Gemma arriving slightly muddy after a bike ride on the canal. After a quick tour of the site, the two GoodGym members got stuck right in with tasks. Jason helped to cut and trim overhanging branches whilst Gemma cleared an overgrown grave (check out the before and after pictures).

Jason and Gemma worked with other volunteers to get the work done, both learning lots about the history of the site and the people buried there. It was a great morning of work and we are looking forward to heading back to help at the site soon.

This was the first task for Jason - exciting to have another great member of GoodGym Leeds!
