WWF x GoodGym Ealing: Canal-side gardening in public orchards - April 2025

Welcome to WWF x GoodGym’s Workout for Nature

Throughout April WWF and GoodGym are collaborating on hundreds of sessions to celebrate Earth Day. Each session will involve a Workout for Nature - a physical volunteering activity which will benefit local green spaces, and give your own wellbeing a boost. Simply sign up below and come along. No experience required!

Come and help Hanwell and Norwood Green Orchard Trail (HANGOT), a great organisation who plant fruit trees in public green spaces to encourage biodiversity and foraging for food. We help them to plant and maintain their orchards along the Grand Union Canal.
