Rachel and I managed to find each other at Alvaston Park and walked over to the Tiny Forest. There we met Helen, and Reg from Trees for Derby who were already getting stuck in.

The recent warmer and wet weather seems to have helped the Tiny Forest grow, so there were a lot of weeds growing and the paths could barely be seen when we arrived.

The weather forecast turned out to be accurate so despite a dry start we were in a downpour by the end. But raincoats were put on and progress was made. The paths are more visible and the trees have more space to continue growing.

I am looking forward to getting back on future missions to continue caring for the site.
