It was a beautiful day for our first community mission of the year and a great turnout of 6 Goodgymmers (plus hanger-on Devon - maybe he will be tempted to join us proper...). We had an energetic start - most of us on our bikes and 3 of us having been to Parkrun beforehand! ๐๐๐ปโโ๏ธ๐ฒ
Jobs included:
- Hammering staples into a new boardwalk for grip ๐จ
- Pruning Magnolia โ๏ธ
- Brushing/scraping leaves and soil away from the edges of paths and car park ๐งน
Shelagh says they would welcome us back any time for their regular volunteer session on the 1st Saturday of the month. I will be listing a task with them on Saturday of Easter weekend marshaling an Easter Egg hunt (that seems so far away!) ๐ฅ
This task supported
Receiving donated home-grown plants, arranging them, keeping tables tidy, talk about plants (and bats) , take photos, tidy up.
Environmentally friendly restoration of gardens and park including a Climate Action Project with eco-audits and citizen science. A bat survey has recorded six species of bat in the park. The aim of the Plant Swap is to fundraise for bat boxes to attract more species.
