There were over 60 NOs gas bottles left in bushes at the slopes. Fortunately we were there to fill up a van and take them to the bottom to be collected. Sadly a very common sight here, hopefully a long term solution can be found?

Great weather this Saturday for chopping back the overgrowth in preparation for winter.

We had Sophie join us as they wanted to learn how to scythe. However I think we may have been hustled , as they took too it like a natural.

Before we knew it, time was up and we had cleared back loads of brambles!

Back again next month!

Tis the season to meander through woods. A gloriously clear day to be out at the top of Nover Hill. We scythe through from the steps to a side lane. The sheep path is now open to go through.

Raking news just coming in….

Three goodgymers met this morning to transform a patch of ground into a haven for wildflowers and diversity. Let’s go over to our roving reporter Richard for more.

Richard: Thanks Gary. It’s a warm one.

Thanks Richard. Informative as always. After the patch was cleared using scythes and rakes it was then scarified 👻. Finally the seeds were spread and watered. Hopefully in the next year the area will transform into a sea of colour and life.

Until next time…

Cameron and I dug some very rough turf up so we could plant new wildflower seeds ready for the next years growing.

Andy and I made a huge clearance of the weeds using scythes
