The weather favoured Goodgym and the friendly volunteers at Foundry Wood. A wildlife haven in the middle of Leamington Spa, we quickly got to work to clear the paths from the plants and weeds growing now that the warmer weather has appeared.
We cleared the pond of sticks thrown in by visitors and could see the many insects and creatures that make the pond their home more clearly, there were plenty of newts!
There were volunteers of all ages and everyone was very welcoming and friendly. As we were busy raking, pulling weeds, and trimming back the vegetation, there was pizza being made for after our session.
Overall, it was a lovely day and as we walked back through the paths we could really see a difference. Well done, everyone!
