Thanks Woody for the pun!

Today 7 GoodGymers ran 4km join local residents and volunteers at Edmund Bacon Close.

The venue had been supplied with tools, bulbs and trees to be planted including Acers, Prurius, Viburnham and Jasmine. Thankfully the rain had stopped but the ground was soft so we got to work digging and planting in different areas of the grounds.

After an hour we had planted the trees and clusters of daffodills, snowdrops, bluebells and crocus.

We love forward to returning in the spring to see what has grown!

9 GoodGymer's turned out for a great morning at Mousehold Heath.

Cutting back Common Gorse, which is an invasive species and has been strangling the heather that grows on the heath. The Heather is a great pollinator and is essential to bees and insects thriving.

The team removed lots of Gorse, with the aid of Will’s big protective gloves and long reaching loppers. After it was removed it was laid on drag mats and taken to a big hole not far away where it can mulch down.

Everyone was in great spirits and could see a massive impact for the hours work that it took of lopping and dragging.

We will be back again in a few weeks for another task in Mousehold.

It was a very windy morning, 7 GoodGymers ran or cycled 5km to Waterloo Park.

We joined the Friends of Waterloo Park volunteer group who meet every Saturday.

Todays task was clearing out weeds from the overgrown flower beds. After an hour it was a great to see the difference we made - check out the before and after photos!

We will be returning next month to help spread lots of wood chip. See you at the next one.
