We had a full house this evening.....ten GoodGymmers to undertake a plethora of tasks on Snow Island. Its great to see so many keen people prepared to come out and do some good in our local community. Additional kudos to those who ran to the task this week too.

A lovely calm sunny evening made for great conditions for a little wildlife gardening on Snow Island. Jeff from Greenstreams who are responsible for the site had given us a few tasks to do and so needed a well co-ordinated team effort to get them done in the time available.

It was good to see Louise Galvin back with the group and she soon got stuck into removing Himalayan Balsam along with Kati Law. Meanwhile David Bilton was busy cutting back some branches overhanging the path, whilst first time GoodGymmer Jackie Cork got stuck into collecting rubbish with Catherine Gormley. Tom Elcock and Ben Godfrey had the tough task of digging out saplings and invasive Buddleia bushes from the wild flower meadow, whilst Andy Petrie and another first time GoodGymmer Jamilla Peteris-Shah were doing a stirling job of extracting various fly tipped items from the undergrowth.

After 60 minutes hard labour the whole site was looking better for a bit of GoodGym attention, and there was even a bit of time for the litter picking crew to pop across the road to Longley Woods and remove some rubbish from there too.

Well done and thanks to all this evening’s GoodGymmers....there’s snow beating a bit of teamwork!
