Talk about pulling resources and amazing teamwork on Stoke Newington Common on Saturday morning. Goodgym giving an expert helping hand in mulching 100 trees across the common and spreading the love to rectory road flower beds with excess mulch.

Along with the Tree musketeers with met the lovely team Stoke Newington common User Group (SnUG). With their help in tow, the work got done in half the time.

A morning of mulching and education. With the SNUGs we learned and explored a whole range of flora and fauna of the common, from Himilayan chestnut tree, to the tree of heaven and not forgetting the amazing Earthstar mushrooms.

All topped off with the usual rewarding beverage and biscuit to top off our achievement.

P.S... give Amy a cheer for her first ever Goodgym experience!
