Who this task will support
Coppetts Wood Conservationists
We look after Coppetts,Wood Nature Reserve on behalf of Barnet Council. Meeting up every Sunday morning we create wild flower meadows, plant and coppice trees, maintain our many ponds which are vital for the protected newts, and make sure main paths are made accessible. We have also put up many bird and bat boxes, the latter helping to encourage the nesting of our different bat species.

DIFFERENT MEETING POINT! We'll start this session at the Artsdepot in Tally Ho. Meet inside the foyer downstairs. This is just by North Finchley Bus Station, and a 1km jog from Woodside Park Tube.

*

Coppetts Wood Conservationists have asked us to help clean up two sites in the wood, one by the North Circular, the other by the entrance on Colney Hatch Lane.

We'll walk or run to the steps by the North Circular to start. After clearing up there, we'll run through the wood to the Colney Hatch entrance and clean up around there. Then we'll carry any rubbish bags up to the Hillside Avenue bus stop, and jog back along Woodhouse Road to the artsdepot.

If you're meeting us at the location, you should find bicycle parking in the giant Tesco nearby. Nearest bus stops are 134/43/234 on Colney Hatch Lane, or 232 on Pinkham Way.

With longer days and more daylight, we should be able to finish before it gets too dark, but bring a head torch in case. Afterwards, there's the option of a social in North Finchley.

Walkable

You will be able to join a group walking to the task if you'd prefer not to run.

Options are available to run between 2km and 5km in total

Remember that we run/walk to and from the task, so you'll only be running/walking for half this distance in one go.

This is a standard GoodGym group run. If you're worried about any aspect of the session, contact us.
