Report written by Julian Osman
Spring was in the air at Westcombe Woodlands and Good Gym was back at this lovely hidden wood behind Maze Hill station. Nature had been busy and a number of trees had come down creating a large space that was now available for replenishing the woodland. Before the regular volunteers can plant 20 new oak trees, the ground coverage of ivy, bramble and dead wood needed to be cleared an this is where Good Gym came in. Two runners got to work with loppers, secateurs and a scary looking mattock to clear the ground and create space for the regeneration. The work was steady and it was a bit tricky to stay balanced, but after an hour and a quarter a big patch of ground was clear, a large pile of wood and brambles had been created and it was time for a well deserved hot chocolate.
