It was great to be able to host a table at the annual Coppetts Wood Festival this year - the site where Paul signed me up to Goodgym for the first time two years ago. This time we had a small table with flyers, though back then Paul had the full TinyForest layout, with calipers and everything.
Richard joined me for the first couple of hours, and we started in Goodgym fashion, helping Sue the Willow Weaver put up her marquee in record time. The band started playing and people arriving, so we set to spreading cheer and chatting to passersby. Richard then set off to do some training for a marathon, and I stayed for the long haul, then helped Sue pack down her marquee and the Coppetts Wood Conservationists with their tables and stalls.

A group of volunteer conservationists managing a local nature reserve for biodiversity
We look after Coppetts Wood Nature Reserve on behalf of Barnet Council. Meeting up every Sunday morning we create wild flower meadows, dead hedges, plant and coppice trees and make sure main paths are made accessible. We have also put up many bird and bat boxes, the latter helping to encourage the nesting of our different bat species.
