Did you know that the Brighton & hove park ranger Lansley is promoting Negative Carbon practices in the conservation of East Brighton Park?
After East Brighton parkrun, we joined the Friends of Sheepcote Valley and East Brighton Park for a community mission to clear some overgrown paths and build steps. At our last visit here, we removed hawthorn and blackthorn that were taking over the grassland. For this natural-engineering conservation mission, we brought those recovered blackthorn to new life by using them in building new steps for the park paths!
New members Kitty and Gavin brave their first and “hot” GoodGym session by clearing the park paths from overgrown grass together with Stefania, Richard and our enthusiastic Nancy, who was parkrun director this Saturday.
The view from up there in amazing! The next Friends of Sheepcote Valley and East Brighton Park volunteering meet up is already scheduled on the 22nd of July – Anyone?
