WWF x GoodGym Bexley: Conservation and coffee at Lesnes Abbey Woods

Workout for Nature with WWF

Welcome to WWF x GoodGym’s Workout for Nature. From 7th April 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!

This is our monthly conservation session with the friendly volunteers at the Friends of Lesnes Abbey and Woods (FOLAW).

Tasks vary from month to month; from clearing brambles along the paths so that woodland flowering plants and animals can recolonise the area, to cutting back holly and saplings and digging out bracken to re-establish the heathland area. This time it may be more of the same or something different!

We'll join the FOLAW volunteers from 10am until about 11.30am (they finish later, and you are welcome to stay on).

Afterwards we'll head to the Chestnuts kiosk at The Lodge for hot drink. It's fine if you need to leave earlier.

Please bring sturdy gardening gloves if you have some 🧤. Oh, and don't forget your reusable cup if you have one!

📍Meeting point

Meet at the Chestnuts kiosk at The Lodge near the abbey ruins. Look out for the FOLAW organisers - usually Keith, Marc and/or Paul - in hi-vis jackets and tell them you are joining them via GoodGym. They'll ask you to sign in and will explain the task.
