This morning 5 runners ran 2km to Jenny Lind Park.

We met Liz who was leading a group of local volunteers, armed with loppers and forks.

She explained today's first task to cut back the longest branches and hedges over hanging the footpath, and clear away weeds from the flower beds. So we split into 2 teams and got to work.

Once we had filled 2 brown dustbins and 2 tubs with weeds and debris, the second task was to create air holes using forks in areas of the park with the most compacted soil. This will help improve the water drainage and allow more grass to grow.

After 90 minutes we said our goodbyes, with plans to return in the future for more good deeds.
