Saturday 21st September 2019
Report written by Esther
It was a lovely September day - starting with a bit of Goodgym Promo at Parkrun, Liz & Lisa ran Upton parkrun before heading over to Holes Bay. Amanda upted it to the next level by running Poole parkrun with a double buggy (complete with 2 kids!) and then heading over to meet us!
We met the team from Poole Environteers at Holes Bay who equipped us with pickers, gloves, bags and even gloves for the kids! We were in the last hour of the litter pick and I can happily so the early crew had done a great job. We headed further round Holes Bay finding the last bits of rubbish across the paths. We had extra helpers with 2 children aged 5 who loved the challenge of finding litter and 2 babies in the prams, both under 2!
It was a beautiful morning for even just a walk around the bay and finding what we could along the way, with great company too.
It was the first community mission that GoodGym Poole has undertaken and it was fitting to be part of GGSuperSaturday!
They provide open space and environmental volunteering across Poole
