It was the final night of the January Challenge and 20 of us gathered at St Nicks, that was everyone except Craig, who was super busy supporting his wife Charlotte who was giving birth to the tiny lady Indigo.. massive congrats to them!

Let's also give Roger a big cheer, who came along for his first ever good deed.

We split into two teams with one team digging holes and one team venturing into the wood to dig up trees for transplanting. St Nick's is losing a small patch of the reserve and this project is all about relocating the trees to save resources.

Turns out the gravelly holes were hard to dig AND the trees were bigger and rootier than expected so we had to quickly make them bigger and join pairs of holes together to create more of a trench.

With all the trees in, we had one final task to move a giant, heavy sleeper which would make the fourth and final side of a woodland nursery bed.

Then we celebrated doing over 800 good deeds this month and the arrival of Indigo with a campfire expertly made by Maria and a few toasted marshmallows.
