Today 12 GoodGymers ran or cycled to support conservation work at Mousehold Heath.

We met Will at St James Hill on Britannia Road, an area of natural habitat for a rich variety of wildlife including Common Whitethroat - the only place in Norwich this species can be found.

We went to an overgrown area that had grown so high it obscured one of the finest views in the city.

Armed with loppers and saws, we spent an hour cutting everything back and carrying the long branches to a clearing below. It was amazing to see the results after we finished! Now anyone wanting to sit on the bench could see right across the entire city.

Shout Out to Alice who attended her first session.

High Five's for Eloise who completed her 50th Good Deed!

I marshalled at Eaton Junior Parkrun. We had a few first timers and some youngsters getting wristbands for their achievements .

9 GoodGymer's turned out for a great morning at Mousehold Heath.

Cutting back Common Gorse, which is an invasive species and has been strangling the heather that grows on the heath. The Heather is a great pollinator and is essential to bees and insects thriving.

The team removed lots of Gorse, with the aid of Will’s big protective gloves and long reaching loppers. After it was removed it was laid on drag mats and taken to a big hole not far away where it can mulch down.

Everyone was in great spirits and could see a massive impact for the hours work that it took of lopping and dragging.

We will be back again in a few weeks for another task in Mousehold.

I marshalled at Eaton Junior Parkrun. There were still a good number of runners despite it being Run Norwich day, which might have preoccupied some parents from running families.
