This special group - Imogen, Jackie, John, Siobhan, and Steve - made a visible difference on this spring evening.

Hidden just south of Gospel Oak station, Lismore Circus Community Woods is a patch of wild green that's been cared for by local volunteers for nearly 30 years. Lush and unique, it's a spot of wild (and communal) sanctuary :)

Having been welcomed by Suza, our wonderful (community champion) host, we swiftly got going with our evening task.

A mature block of Pyracantha - which is often known as Firethorn - needed a gentle trim and tidy. Cue many secateurs trimming and chopping, amidst stories and laughter (and even friendly passersby complementing our good work!)

Thank you, everyone, for your time and energy - it was lovely to see you all - and you made a visible difference to this special community space :)
