About this session
As part of London Climate Action Week, GoodGym are teaming up for a citizen science session and community run at Hanger Hill Tiny Forest ๐ณ๐๐
London Climate Action Week brings together communities, charities, and organisations across the city to take action for a greener and healthier future โ and this is our chance to get involved locally.
Weโll combine running with hands-on conservation and citizen science, helping monitor biodiversity and support one of Londonโs growing Tiny Forests ๐ฑ๐
Come along to move, connect with others, and help count the bugs and butterflies at Hanger Hill Park Tiny Forest. Learn more about the Tiny Forest here.

FAQ
Not sure you'll keep up? GoodGym is for everyone (18+). Whether you've never run before, or are chasing a marathon PB, you are 100% welcome. We always have a back-marker so no one gets left behind.
If you're not comfortable running, you can also meet us at the task location in the description.
What if I'm not a runner? 70% of GoodGym members start as non-runners so if you're new to this kind of thing you will be supported by people who are all on the same journey. ๐
What do I need to wear? Most of us wear gym/running gear but this isn't required, so wear whatever you're comfortable working in. Make sure you're prepared for the weather.
Is there a bag drop? No, we don't have a bag drop or changing facilities. If you're running to the task, please only bring what you are comfortable running with.
Do I need to know how to weed/marshal/make clothing packs/etc.? No, not at all. We have someone experienced to guide you at the task, either from the organisation that we're helping or one of our own task leaders.
Don't feel like you're fit enough? Our tasks are simple and fun. There are easy jobs as well as more challenging things for those who want a workout! The choice is always yours.
This task supports
Tiny Forest is a dense fast-growing native woodland of 600 trees planted densely in a tennis-court size plot, maximising benefits per m2 of land. The proponents, Earthwatch, engage with local communities to plant, maintain and monitor their forest over time. The forests reconnect people with nature and raise awareness of climate change.

Make sure you've read our general guidelines for safety for taking part in a GoodGym session.
This is a GoodGym group run, with the option of walking too. You'll meet other GoodGymers at the start location and run or walk to the task together. If you're worried about any aspect of the session, contact your area activator Kash by email at kash@goodgym.org.
Options are available to run between 2km and 4km in total.
Remember that we will be running or walking to and from the task, so you'll only be running or walking for half this distance in one go.
