Saturday 9th May
Report written by Ian Gostling
On a bright Saturday morning, 6 GoodGymer's joined the Friends of Waterloo Park for a bit of shoveling.
Waterloo Park is an awarded Green Flag Park. This means it must maintain high quality standards, including excellent environmental management, biodiversity, and community involvement.
Every week, the work in the park collects large amounts of green waste that is left to dry out and compost. And today we were asked to shovel the branches and soil from the compost boxes into piles, which will be collected by the council for further recycling.
Together the 'Friends' and GoodGymer's completed the task within an hour, while observing snails, moths and other bugs.
We finished with a well earned brew and biscuits!
Events for families, improve biodiversity and horticulture, education. Liaise with City Council re improvements to park.
