Bit of a special session this week, as we were joined by a swarm of locals who were concerned and wanted to do something about the fly tipping in the area. Even a local counciller got their gloves on and helped out. On top of some stellar GG litter picking action, we even managed to create a new wildflower bed, with extra thanks to newcomer Elaine who wasn't afraid to pick up a fork get stuck in on the action!
We managed to neatly pack the trash so that it could be collected by the council quicker, then hopped accross the road for another litter session at the Berry maze! Thanks all, see you next month!

Lovely springtime start to the day. We had newcomer Elliot join us and he put a tremendous effort into clearing back some scrubland, so liter pickers can get in there and prepare the area for future meadow plot. Nice chance for a chat as we turned the place around in just under an hour.
Cheers for coming all!

No scything this month, we had a new task at hand! Andy did a wonderful job of traveling and raking the Scar path, whist I help the locals gravel a new path down by Novers lane. it was a dangerous mud slope before next to a busy road, but now there's a much safer way to get across. Emma and Janka were off clearing the path of the the usual litter work.
stellar work all round! see you next month!

In a twist of calenders, we ended up with at least 3 tasks this Saturday. Starting off with a quick trip to the top of the slopes for the usual shenanigans. Only this time a jawbone was found, likely a deers, deep within the hedgerow. Ok ok, not that crazy, but it's a darn sight more interesting than the usual beer cans and other crisp packets! Thanks for coming everyone! See you next month.:)

This month we took to the bottom of the steps to tackle some of the fly tipping hotspots. Paul and the locals did an excellent job of scything down and clearing the area at the bottom, whilst I opened up the scar path slightly. Emma had found a huge pile of trash and was committed to cleaning it up before finishing the session. Len had some chocs for us for all the work we put in during the year. Not gonna say no to that!

Started out as a typical Northern Slopes session, until I found out the incredible amount of litter that Jason and Emma had managed to pull out. I was stunned! gold stars all round for that awesome work.
Thanks for coming all!
