Our task this evening was back at Belle Isle Park, clearing away overgrowth around a wildflower area.
Its great to see the patch thriving, and all the more meaningful for us since we started it 3 years ago!

Today we were out on a community mission helling to setup and steward the Feel Good Festival, hosted by Wonford Health Matters.
Such a fabulous event to be involved in, the morning started with setting up gazebos/tents before undertaking various steward posts. Highlight of the day was the bicycle smoothie maker - popular with kids and adults alike, and fun to cycle on peoples behalf so they can still join in.

Today we were back at Belle Isle Park, with most of the group finally back together after what seemed an age of being ships that pass in the night.
Our task this evening was to assist in grass cutting, moving all the carnage task leader Joe left in his wake with his scythe. Weather was great, golden hour gave us a beautiful evening and as always its nice to be out in the park!
A highlight for us this week was to take a look at the spectacular silk webbing that had been created by caterpillars in the park.

Today the gang were out helping Whipton Community Builders in a planter project.
Our task tonight was to empty the soil in order for the planters to be moved to a new home - helping free up parking spaces at the old location, and enabling safer road space in the new. The planters will be taken over by a local school and community.
Overall we shifted over a tonne of soil, and certainly got a good workout!
A huge welcome to Catherine who joined us for her first session, and a big welcome back to Isabel after months away traveling! Great job all!

Tonight we were finally back supporting our friends at Belle Isle park after a long winter break. The task we had was to dig a new bed for wildflowers, move the earth and sow the seeds. A warm evening, we were also joined by 4 others from the local group, and thrilled to get the job finished! And of course a big thanks to Esme for bringing chocolate!
