On a lovely sunny day, Charlotte, Olivier and Jonny helped out at Hill Hook Nature Reserve in Sutton Coldfield. Joining the Friends of Hill Hook Nature Reserve

Today's job was lots of weeding! We had to 'weed out' a very invasive species and with it being Mental Health awareness week, what better pun could we have?!

We also got the added bonus of seeing the swans with their signets and the baby coots being fed by their parents, a lovely way to finish the Community Mission.

There will be another Community Mission at Hill Hook in late June :)

This morning we had a nice sunny morning to join the volunteers at Hill Hook Nature Reserve in Sutton Coldfield.

Olivier joined on her first GoodGym session and Suki joined us for the first time at Hill Hook after her mornings Parkrun exploits!

The task was to plant 300 trees. With all the rain it made digging the holes a little easier! It was fantastic work and by 11.30am we managed to plant all 300 trees! A really fantastic effort, well done everyone involved :)

It was a nice morning for helping out at the Hill Hook Nature Reserve in Sutton Coldfield this morning.

It was great to meet Calum on his first GG Community Mission, who had cycled over from Five Ways and to see regulars Rachel and Charlotte at the the task.

The first task was cutting back all the brambles which was done in double quick time, even before Jonny arrived, who had been smashing out a Sutton Park Parkrun PB, before running across to the nature reserve after.

Next task was moving an invasive plant species, which could be spotted by it's slightly white leafs. After that it was more cutting back and trimming.
