Three goodgymers joined local community activists at the Mutton Brook tiny forests, for a wet morning of weeding and litter picking. The rain came down, which was great for the trees, not so good for the workers! But we all persevered, and dug up a mountain of weeds that had been growing since the tiny forest trees were planted in March. The tiny forests at the site are part of a scientific experiment with different growing conditions. We saw oaks, hollys, hazels, all thriving.
There's plenty more work to do there, so we look forward to going again soon!

Hi all — just a quick update. I took a video of the three Barnet Tiny Forest sites yesterday and shared it with Earthwatch. They were really pleased and said it’s helpful, especially as they’re currently assessing how sites are coping with the recent heat and dryness. They’re looking at mortality rates and how different species are responding, so our input is valuable. Great to know what we’re doing is feeding into the bigger picture!
