For tonight's task we went to the movies.....well we cleared up rubbish around the university's Patrick Stewart film studios anyway.

We litter picked half a dozen bags of rubbish from around Snow Island, the studios and the Riverside Way. Well done Kati Law, Louise Galvin and Wendy Redmile.

Due to a lack of leaflets we had a quick change of task tonight. So instead of flyering Fixby, tonights task was a litter blitz of Bradford Road.

However of far more significance was the fact that Huddersfield GoodGymmer Wendy Redmile generously donated tools, including secateurs, a pruning saw and a rechargeable worklight to our group this evening. The tools will be incredibly useful for our future tasks.

Wendy who is undergoing chemotherapy, has recently completed a challenge to wear a different hat each day for over 100 days, raising over £1000 in the process. The funds were used to support various local good causes, which included the new GoodGym tools. Thank you so much Wendy they will certainly get put to good use.

In addition to Wendy, tonights top taskers were Kati Law, Ben Godfrey, Louise Galvin and myself. Good effort guys!

Under the guidance of the guys from Tiny Forest, along with Gill and Charlotte from Kirklees Council, Louise Galvin and I did some "Citizen Science" in our Tiny Forest this evening.

We measured trees and counted invertebrates and recorded the results on the Tiny Forest app, contributing to the body of data being used to ascertain the contribution these little urban plantations make to the environment. Oh, and we also did some more nettle weeding too!

Great fun, we're looking forward to doing it again next week!
