On a lovely sunny morning GoodGym were out at Hill Hook Nature Reserve helping the team with various tasks organised the the Birmingham and Black Country Wildlife Trust.

It was great to meet Chowie, who came to her first GoodGym Community Mission.

On arrival it was lovely to see the swans with their babies, which were apparently only a week old. Once I had taken a few photos it was on with the task. First job was some ground weeding to make space for some young trees.

Next job was the post erection! Yep a newly delivered flower identification needed to be erected. This involved lots of digging, before eventually putting a concrete type substance into the holes and our post was erected!

Next job was planting some plants in a boggy area of the nature reserve before finally finishing off with some more weeding near the stream.

It was a lovely morning of work and GG will look forward ti being back in August :)
