This weekend, GoodGymers headed to Foundry Wood ready to tackle a prickly problem and we weren’t branching out when we said we meant business.

Armed with loppers, gloves, and plenty of enthusiasm, the team got stuck into clearing overgrown pathways of brambles and stubborn weeds. Bit by bit, we transformed tangled trails into welcoming walkways, making it easier (and far less scratchy!) for visitors to explore the wood.

But we didn’t stop at ground level. Overhead, low-hanging branches were carefully trimmed back to open up the space and make sure everyone can roam freely without ducking and dodging.

It was a proper team effort, with great energy throughout and plenty of satisfying before-and-after moments. The difference was clear: safer, more accessible paths and a woodland that feels open, cared for, and ready to be enjoyed.

Another brilliant session supporting a fantastic local green space, proof that many hands really do make light (and slightly less spiky) work 🌿

Not forgetting the Pizza making for a well earned lunch after all the hard work

Until next time… let’s keep paving the way!
