A beautiful summers evening (finally) for this weeks Group Run to Agnes Riley Gardens. Our task this week was to clean up a pond of weed and litter and make a staircase for baby frogs to get out of the ponds. We headed off just after 7 for a uphill slog to the south circular 🥵

Upon arriving we were greeted and promptly split into two groups - heavy work or delicate work. Heavy work entailed digging out two submerged pots from the pond, removing pots when they were light enough, taking soil to the compost area, collecting stones and finally building a stone staircase for the frogs to leave the pond. Joao, Inny, Katy, Lindy, Nathan and Shauna took this job.

Delicate work involved fishing, raking, scooping weeds out of the big pond, searching through them for tadpoles and throwing the tadpoles back in the water.

Once we were done we headed back to Brixton, this time a little bit cooler and a nice bit of downhill!
