All of our tasks are fun, but this one really felt like we were having a clear and direct impact on those in need, and whilst packing the bags we could literally imagine a child opening their bag on Christmas Day.

About the task
Welcome to WWF x GoodGym’s Workout for Nature. From 7th April to 4th May WWF and GoodGym are collaborating on hundreds of sessions to celebrate Earth Day. Each session will involve a Workout for Nature - a physical volunteering activity which will benefit local green spaces, and give your own wellbeing a boost. Simply sign up below and come along. No experience required!
Important Information
This week, we will meet outside Barnsbury Square Gardens to help the team with this awesome task. There is not a scheduled group run this week, but you are welcome to use the Arsenal Community Hub for bag drop, changing rooms and WC facilities.
We will be meeting at Barnsbury Square Gardens to help the local resident gardening team.

Our plan is to use shovels and forks to dig up some stubborn plants and roots from the flower beds on the premises. A classic Goodgym task!
