No Lollygagging Here

Tuesday 14th July

Written by Craig Barber (He/him)

Today the gang were back at Belle Isle Park, carrying on the fab work to create more space for wildflower areas. Lots of raking and clearing on a hot day, but Lucy came prepped with the ice lollies!

Make Hay Whilst the Sun Shines

Tuesday 7th July

Written by Craig Barber (He/him)

Today the gang were back at Belle Isle Park to carry on helping maintain the area. We started by admiring the new wildflower area that we had worked on a few weeks ago, taking in the efforts all whilst having ice lollies (thanks Lucy!). Then we got to work moving cut grass, paving the way for future wildflower work. We're back at the park next week if you want to join!

A massive welcome to thank you to Lila, who joined us on her first GoodGym session today!

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!

Getting the band back together

Tuesday 12th May

Written by Craig Barber (He/him)

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.

Hoe Life

Tuesday 28th April

Written by Craig Barber (He/him)

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!
