Armed with litter pickers and goodwill, a heroic gang of GoodGymers chose how to help clean up their own areas... Matthew in Wandsworth and Adi in Sydenham's Mayow Park, while Linda and Paul were both alongside the River Ravensbourne in Brookmill Park. Linda' trusted litter picker hoisted soggy, abandoned clothing out of the river and cleared bankside vegetation of plastic bottles that Paul hadn't been able to reach. Paul also pulled out a couple of clumps of the invasive Himalayan Balsam plant.

As always, it felt satisfying to pick a task that helps make the world a nicer place for both people and wildlife.
