Each week, on a Wednesday morning, I get ready for the Green Gym - protective footwear, gloves etc...... but the one thing I haven't needed much this year.......my SUN HAT...!!!!! This week was the same - no sun, but at least it was warm and most importantly - dry. The GGymers met up at the site and were given a tour of the trees that had been felled by some morons with a chain saw. I would be pleased if someone could explain to me what possible pleasure they get from carrying outs such acts - a classic case of the majority having to suffer for the actions of a mindless few. Some of the team soon set to work and cut up the downed trees to allow the smaller trees in the area to grow and hopefully allowing the cut-off stumps to shoot again. Part of the team worked on a section of woven fencing, others made good progress at giving some of the more overgrown areas a "hair cut" and the pond area was treated to a clean-up. There was a really good turnout this week and this venue is becoming a very popular one for the Green Team.
The top two pictures show " before and after" shots of a cleared area (thanks to Eddie) and the others show some of various tasks that were tackled (thanks to Carrie).
NEWSFLASH. Remember the beach clean-up we did at Water Shoot Bay? Have a look at this link to the County Press web page - we are famous once again!http://www.iwcp.co.uk/News/Environment/Thanks_for_volunteers.aspx
