12 Goodgymmers braved a cold Wednesday evening to provide a much needed weeding of the Peckham Rye Tiny Forest

After a quick warm up we headed out around Peckham Rye park, running about 2km to the Tiny Forest. Once there we met Anna, who is a Goodgym Southwark member and Treekeeper for the Tiny Forest.

Though the night was dark we waded into the sea of grass, weeds and even some drooping sedge (a native of this country) and cleared areas around the trees. This helps the young trees grow, as at this early stage they can get out competed by the more aggressive grasses. It was already impressive to see the growth of some of the trees, which are only about 2 years old.

Once we made a big dent in the weeds we headed back to Old Spike, where we celebrated with Benjamin, who had reached his 50th good deed. Santa came early with Ginger cake and we know that there will be be a new tshirt in your Christmas stocking!
