9 GoodGymer's turned out for a great morning at Mousehold Heath.
Cutting back Common Gorse, which is an invasive species and has been strangling the heather that grows on the heath. The Heather is a great pollinator and is essential to bees and insects thriving.
The team removed lots of Gorse, with the aid of Will’s big protective gloves and long reaching loppers. After it was removed it was laid on drag mats and taken to a big hole not far away where it can mulch down.
Everyone was in great spirits and could see a massive impact for the hours work that it took of lopping and dragging.
We will be back again in a few weeks for another task in Mousehold.
