We had a great session last night with Samantha back for her first session in a while! And Yazid providing his usual laughs while we collected 2 and a half bags of litter from central Basingstoke.

We were once again joined by Alan from Natural Basingstoke for a great session where we went out to Lyford which NB are trying to rewild.

This involved dead-heading the flowers from the Golden Rod plants which aren't native and try to take over areas. Always nice to be outside and there was plently of wildlife out and about.

It was a race against time, but it was a very good session led by Tazmin who was joined by a host of regulars in Sammi, Evelyn, Christine & Yazid

We had an excellent session yesterday with Natural Basingstoke! We were met by Alan from the NB team who took the team to a former allotment near the train station which Natural Basingstoke is trying to rewild.

This involved dead-heading the flowers from the Golden Rod plants which aren't native and try to take over areas. The team managed to do 2/3rds of this before heading over to the Holy Ghost Cemetary to collect pine cones for Childrens Crafts days.

It was great having Mohamed down to their first session with GoodGym. The session was excellently lead by Tazmin & Luke did a lot of work while also taking the photos.

I think we have a new contender for weirdest bit of litter that we have found in our time here in Basingstoke with a whole number plate!

We had a great time litter picking last night, it was beautiful weather for it and the vibes were high. Lily & Sam joined for their first session and got straight into the swing of it fitting in really easily.

As always Sammi, Yazid & Tazmin were in great form providing plenty of laughs.

In all we collected 4 full bags of litter around the Queens Mary area, we also found some delicious plums which I enjoyed!
