6 Goodgymmers joined forces on a chilly Sunday morning to help transform an area on the side of the Westbury Banks Nature Reserve in Wood Green.
If it's worth doing, it's worth doing (stair)well
Our Goodgymmers joined volunteers from the Friends of Westbury Banks Nature Reserve and the Noel Park Big Locals for a big clear out on the side of the Reserve.
It was a big job but one we met with aplomb. The team removed an unsafe metal post, copious amount of ivy and weeds, trimmed the trees around the staircase, carried out a litter pick of frankly gargantuan proportions, swept the foliage and debris, and we even found the time to put up some shiny new signs around the Reserve.
Not bad for a chilly morning's work!
Join us on Wednesday, when we'll be helping out at the Haringey Learning Partnership and then having one of our world infamous* socials afterwards!
- I jest, we are all rather civilised ;)

Help locals create a nature reserve
"The Westbury Banks Nature Reserve is a community lead project to transform derelict land into a nature reserve. All work on the site is on a voluntary basis and the management of the site is done free of charge! There are big plans to install a storage unit for the equipment, a mural, a log path with wood chipping, a pond for amphibious for wildlife and a grand insect hotel
