Two GoodGymmers made their merry way to support the monthly friends of DD & Winsdon Hill Litterpick. A surprisingly sunny and mild morning, we enjoyed being out in the fresh and and getting stuck in tackling the large amount of rubbish. Bagging up the smaller pieces and freeing the larger bits from the overgrowth. This is a heavily littered area, and the team are keen to clear it up so that the local community of people and wildlife can full enjoy it. Today we focussed mainly on the path to the left of the hill and headed up to where there were several ‘dens’ hidden by bushes and thorns which were covered in rubbish. We’ll be back again next month to keep up the good fight!

We teamed up with some of the residents of Drunraven Avenue, Kevin from ABCD Luton and Sam from the Parks team to install a new hedge in a small park along the fence line of some houses to improve their privacy and security.

A swift spurt of spades sliced slots in the soil for the saplings. 🌱 Canes were added, protective spirals too and finally a splash of wood chip to help the hawthorns get established.

Last job of the day, a nice cup of tea in the sunshine ☕ ☀️
