Report written by Judy Knapp
For the maths geeks - here's a GG sum: a physical task + fresh air + mud + a hammer + a very heavy tree-rammer + worms...
= 6 very happy GoodGymers
Maxine, Manuel, Catherine, Katie, Lynn & Judy joined local residents, the Tree Wardens, Portsmouth City Council staff, plus the Lord Mayor & Stephen Morgan MP to plant fruit trees in various locations through Portsea.
What we learned from this task - don't dig holes in trainers and don't dare Katie to do anything, because she'll do it - in this case it was fitting herself into a long cardboard box!
There's another chance to get digging in phase 2 of the tree-planting on Sunday 9th February.
With the invaluable support of volunteers and members we manage over 50 nature reserves. We also work with other organisations and landowners to protect and connect wildlife sites across the county and inspire local communities and young people to care for wildlife where they live.
