GoodGym Norwich is 9! That's a whopping 9194 Good Deeds in 9 years!!

Tonight 16 GoodGymers ran and cycled to Mousehold Heath for a conservation task followed by a celebratory picnic!

With the sun shining, Will lead us to the area of the heath in need of some work. We got stuck in pulling up bracken, to allow other species of plants to grow, particularly heather. This helps to improve pollination and biodiversity.

In an hour we had cleared the area of bracken, with the difference before and after clearly visible! Shout out to Tondi who attended his first session.

Then it was time to party! With hot & cold drinks, blankets full of food and homemade treats, we stayed until there was little left over. We also had a chance to say thanks to Steven for leading this great group for 8 & a half years!!

4 Goodgymers today helped our friends at Wild Lakenham in their Orchard and meadow. A group were clearing the orchard with the sythes while others cleared up the cut pieces. 2 of us walked to the meadow and planted 7 Teasel plants, clearing a space to dig a hole, plant them then collecting water from the river to water them in. After an hours hard work we were treated to refreshments. Thank you Wild Lakenham..
