The task was to weed around the saplings in the New Thrift Wood to give them room to thrive, and also to remove any saplings which had died. Amy, Sheila and Tessa met in Ockwells Park, and armed with waterproofs that we hoped we wouldn't need, we set off for the walk to the saplings. Sheila showed us where the previous group of GoodGymers had got to, we all got stuck in and handfuls of weeds were soon flying! This was a very satisfying task and we made good progress. Most of the saplings were doing well, and we look forward to returning to do some more sapling care in the future. And happily the waterproofs weren't needed!

Braywick Nature Centre
A community hub to promote awareness of the natural environment.

Working in partnership with Groundwork South, Braywick Nature Centre acts as a community hub to promote awareness of the natural environment with events, walks and talks across the borough, and through educational sessions for school, youth and other groups. The service also offers support for local conservation and amenity groups. The nature centre houses displays and exhibitions on wildlife, sustainability and local history, and has a large classroom for use by schools and other groups and is only open to the public when events are taking place. The nature centre is situated in an old stable block, originally part of the estate belonging to Braywick Lodge. The 19th century mansion house was demolished in 1969, however the stables were refurbished in 1989 to provide a centre for environmental activities in the borough.
