Report written by Katie London
Samantha, Betsy, Lynn and Katie ran to St Jude's primary school to help them tame their wild area. We attacked the brambles and ivy with gusto to clear the pond area. Betsy and Samantha used their bug spotting skills to find snails, beetles, woodlice and frogs whilst Lynn used her Ecologist super powers to help the creatures we found and share her knowledge with the eager crowd of excited children (and grown ups). It was a morning of high drama that saw a newt being rescued and rehomed, woodlice giving birth, a bee rescued from drowning, huge spiders, more frogs than we could count and a wonderful reminder of the circle of life as we witnessed a small frog devour a large worm like a spaghetti brunch! We were really excited about restoring this huge wild nature area for the children to use. I am sure this won't be the last Goodgym mission to the wild area.
