An ace team of volunteers came together on the green at Warnham Road for a solid session to improve biodiversity.

Four Goodgymmers, two conservationists and a couple of neighbours gathered to mince and bash brambles, rake soil and pile up dead hedge material for the next session.

The conservationists went above and beyond, teaching us how to use the tools effectively and how to be careful with our work, checking for habitats and protecting any creatures we found.

Some could only stay an hour, others a bit longer, but huge thanks to the die hard conservationists for staying for over 4 hrs to get the main tasks finished!

We'll be back soon to try and get a few more tasks finished before spring warms up, to give seeds that have been choked by bramble the best chance of flourishing.
