This morning Charlotte, Olivia and Jonny helped out at the Hill Hook Nature Reserve.

The task was lopping with the loppers! Well not exactly, it was to cut all the vegetation back from the paths.

Jonny who arrived on his bike, also did a bit of litter picking, though there wasn't much litter about.

We also got to see the swans with their new born.

We'll be back again at Hill Hook in 3 weeks :)

On Sunday morning Charlotte and Jonny took part in a massive litter picking session at Sutton Coldfield train station.

Jonny cycled to and from the session and Charlotte got dropped off before walking back, getting in her daily steps.

GG joined forces with the Sutton Coldfield Litter Action Group and Friends of Wylde Green Train Station for a big litter pick at the front of the station.

You can see from the copious bags in the pictures that it was certainly worthwhile.

In total we filled 67 bags of rubbish, plus around 30 bags of glass bottles hence the pun! On top of all this we found a toaster, road signs, a handbag and various other random items! I'm sure we cleared many years of litter!

In total there was around 30 volunteers from the various groups, making it a lovely atmosphere to be apart of :)
