This week's group run was a long one heading out to a raking task by the river a good 5km away from our start point in town.

We had to throw in a small diversion to pick up the rakes and a drag mat from a locked up allotment nearby and then head over to the riverside where a long lone of brambles had been cut down and our task was to rake up the cuttings and drag them over the bridge to a spot where they can be collected by van.

David, Omar and Martin did their best and collected an impressive pile in the short time on site. A few more people would have been lovely as it was definitely hard work!

We left definitely feeling like we'd had a workout and wishing we'd eaten before instead of after the task!

Today’s mission at Fallowfield was a fantastic effort to help keep Luton’s green spaces thriving! The team worked hard clearing overgrown areas, picking , and making the park more welcoming for both people and wildlife. It was great to see everyone come together, full of energy and enthusiasm, despite the chilly morning.

One of the highlights was uncovering a hidden patch of wildflowers beneath the weeds—we gave them a new chance to bloom! We also had some great conversations along the way, proving that conservation is not just about nature but about building a stronger community too.

A job well done, and I can’t wait for the next

It was a return to the Penrose Roots to Recovery garden this evening for part two of a big sleeper cutting task.

There's lots of new raised beds planned for this year's crops but before they can be built we needed to cut a bunch to size.

We completed the sawing job and moved some sleepers down to the far end of the garden in super quick time so we ran on to the Wardown Park Bandstand for a leg-based workout circuit.
