Last Saturday, a window of gorgeous sunny weather gifted us with an amazing landscape view on Brighton Sea from the top of SheepCote Valley! Not surprisingly, this attracted a reasonable group of enthusiastic volunteers and four GoodGymers, including new member Olivia, Lucia and Hannah to help parkranger Lindsay with the conservation of East Brighton citypark. Lindsay’s engaging enthusiasm is contagious, and we always have a great deal of fun altogether!
Who cleared brambles, who cut overgrown branches, who piled up green waste, who burned those collated twigs, woods, branches, and dry leaves by keeping fires well controlled …. And who, like me 😊, had a first time to unstrap overgrown bramble’s (almost tree) roots by using a tree hoper – new garden tool! Exiting.
After running the parkrun, I felt all the effects of such a green workout, but it was well worth it. I also found out that in Autumn those nasty hedgerow brambles produce berries that can be harvested to produce a good taste gin!
