Tonight 20 Goodgymer's (and 1 dog) ran or cycled 6km to Mousehold Heath.

We continued the work being done to improve the biodiversity of the heathland, by pulling up bracken to allow the heather to flourish underneath.

Always a popular task, and our second visit this summer, we covered a different area on the eastern side of the heath. Within an hour there was a large wide area that had been cleared, with all the bracken piled up and moved with pitchforks.

On our way out of the heath, local warden Will showed us an area that had been worked on over 3 years, and is now covered in a beautifully vibrant purple heather.
