A bunch of GG Yorkies ran to Danesmead Wood for help move some massive tree trunks!

The Friends of Danesmead Wood wanted to build some seating areas made of tree trunks, but the trunks were big and heavy and required a bit of people power to move them.

Babs and Adriana were on sawing duty, sawing some of the thinner bits of wood into manageable chunks.

Armed with loops of ropes, the rest of us worked in little teams to move the trunks into two areas of the woodland. There were a few small distractions like a really good rope swing, a fun woodland den and two crazy dogs, but we managed to stay focused and get the job done.

The great thing about helping with tasks at Danesmead Wood is that Jude always brings amazing snacks and today was no exception - we munched on some flapjack and millionaire shortbread before running our separate ways.
