The last in a long stretch of trees sleeves has now been removed. Trees, once stunted by redundant plastic, fighting unnecessary disease harboured inside the damp airless spaces are now able to thrive. Large volumes of degrading plastic had been removed from open space to be disposed of in a more ‘controlled environment’ , sadly I suspect landfill.

Removed and bagged up another 5 bags of plastic tree sleeves for collection by the council. The trees no longer need them! The area is now a happier place for nature.

It’s my 100th good deed! Yey! And if I could have carried a ton of rubbish away that would have been even greater; 100 bits don’t really count. But if just one bit is prevented from damaging the wildlife then that’s worth every moment spent.

Gathered two heavy bagfuls of litter off the ground and away from wildlife, making the area more pleasant for everyone. One plastic snake, two lone socks, a tee shirt, and many many bits of plastic wrappers.

The January chill and darkness didn't deter us last night as two Goodgymmers made the rounds at Walnut tree house. Following a quick litter pick we set about clearing some moss in the seating area, with a little chat about Christmas and our daughters' woes.

Join us for a Tuesday night task soon!

A brisk circuit around Cowdray avenue area, trying to stick to the better lit parts, to be able to find the litter. Unfortunately, anything that glistens has a strong chance of being a wet leaf, and often is! However, due to bags of tenacity and determination we managed to fill four sacks. Well done everyone! It became mighty chilly, so we bid farewell to the cyclists, and headed home. Thanks for the chats, see you next time!
